Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast diced into bite-size pieces
  • 4 cups shredded cabbage green, purple, or a mix
  • 1 cup grated carrots
  • 3 green onions chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce low-sodium recommended, or tamari for gluten-free
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp ground ginger or 1 tbsp fresh grated ginger
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • optional toppings sesame seeds, fresh cilantro, or Sriracha

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Knife and cutting board
  • Measuring spoons
  • Grater

Method
 

  1. Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking, about 30 seconds.
  2. Add the diced chicken in a single layer. Season with salt and pepper and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through. Avoid crowding the pan.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Watch closely to avoid burning.
  4. Add the shredded cabbage, grated carrots, and green onions. Toss everything together and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until tender but still slightly crisp.
  5. Pour in the soy sauce and add the ground ginger. Stir well to coat evenly and cook for 1 more minute.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, or more soy sauce as needed. Serve immediately with optional toppings.

Notes

Use tamari instead of soy sauce for a gluten-free version. Serve over steamed jasmine rice or cauliflower rice for a heartier meal. Leftovers store in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat best in a skillet with a small splash of soy sauce.
