Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (0.45 kg) ground chicken
- 1 (14 oz/400 g) bag coleslaw mix (shredded cabbage and carrots)
- 3 tbsps low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp hoisin sauce (optional, for extra flavor)
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated (or 1 tsp ground ginger)
- ½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
- 2 green onions, sliced
- Sesame seeds, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Sizzle Base: Heat sesame oil in a large skillet over medium flame, introducing diced onions and sautéing until they transform into a translucent, tender foundation.
- Protein Preparation: Introduce ground chicken, methodically breaking it down while cooking until the meat achieves a rich, golden-brown coloration and is thoroughly cooked through.
- Aromatic Infusion: Incorporate minced garlic and ginger, allowing their intense flavors to bloom and permeate the skillet for a brief moment.
- Vegetable Integration: Fold in coleslaw mix, stirring consistently to ensure even distribution and cooking until the cabbage reaches a perfect tender-crisp consistency.
- Flavor Enhancement: Stream soy sauce, rice vinegar, hoisin sauce, and red pepper flakes into the skillet, creating a harmonious blend that coats every ingredient with a vibrant, tangy essence.
- Final Touch: Remove from heat, garnish with freshly chopped green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds, presenting a warm, aromatic dish ready to be savored.
Notes
- Adjust cooking time for coleslaw mix to achieve your preferred cabbage crispness – shorter for crunchy, longer for softer consistency.
- Modify red pepper flakes quantity to match personal heat preference without overwhelming other flavors.
- Easily swap ground chicken with ground turkey, tofu, or plant-based meat alternatives for dietary adaptations.
- Toast sesame seeds before sprinkling to release nutty undertones and intensify overall dish aroma.
