Ingredients
  

1 lb ground chicken

1 tablespoon sesame oil

2 cups coleslaw mix (shredded cabbage and carrots)

3 green onions, sliced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated

¼ cup soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 teaspoon sriracha (optional, for heat)

1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Salt and pepper to taste

Chopped cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Heat the Oil: In a large skillet or wok, heat the sesame oil over medium-high heat.

    Cook the Chicken: Add the ground chicken to the skillet. Cook until browned and cooked through, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes.

      Add Aromatics: Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

        Incorporate the Veggies: Add the coleslaw mix and green onions to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until the cabbage begins to soften.

          Season the Mixture: Pour in the soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sriracha (if using). Mix everything until well combined and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

            Serve: Remove from heat and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Garnish with chopped cilantro if desired.

              Dish It Up: Serve warm in bowls, either on its own or with rice or quinoa, if desired.
