Ingredients
Chicken Mixture
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
Vegetables & Seasonings
- 4 cups coleslaw mix (cabbage and carrots)
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce or coconut aminos
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Garnish
- 2 green onions, sliced
- Sesame seeds, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Heat oils: Warm olive oil and sesame oil together in a large skillet over medium heat to create a flavorful cooking base for the chicken and vegetables.
- Brown chicken: Add the ground chicken to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks to ensure even cooking and a crumbly texture.
- Sauté aromatics: Stir in the finely chopped onion, minced garlic, and grated fresh ginger. Cook for 2–3 minutes until fragrant to build the dish’s classic egg roll flavor.
- Add vegetables and seasonings: Incorporate the coleslaw mix, soy sauce or coconut aminos, rice vinegar, salt, and black pepper into the skillet. Stir well to combine all ingredients evenly.
- Cook cabbage: Continue cooking for 5–7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the cabbage becomes tender but still retains a slight crunch to keep the texture lively.
- Finish and garnish: Remove the skillet from heat. Garnish with sliced green onions and, if desired, sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving to add freshness and subtle nuttiness.
Notes
- Do not overcook the cabbage to maintain some crunch and texture in the dish.
- Ground turkey or pork can be substituted for the chicken to vary protein options.
- Add sriracha or chili garlic sauce to the dish for some spicy heat.
- The dish stores well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, making it perfect for meal prep.
