- 1 large carrot, julienned or shredded
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp ginger, minced
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 3 tbsps low sodium soy sauce
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp sriracha (optional for heat)
- 1 tsp sugar
- Sesame seeds (optional for garnish)
Instructions
- Prep Skillet: Heat vegetable oil in a large wok over medium-high heat, creating an optimal cooking environment.
- Cook Protein: Sauté ground chicken, breaking into crumbles until golden brown and fully cooked, then set aside on a separate plate.
- Aromatics Burst: Sizzle onions, garlic, and ginger in the same skillet for 2-3 minutes, releasing their vibrant essence and creating a flavor foundation.
- Vegetable Transformation: Add cabbage and carrots, stirring continuously for 5-6 minutes until vegetables reach a perfect tender-crisp state while maintaining their nutritional integrity.
- Flavor Fusion: Reintroduce cooked chicken to the vegetable mixture, then incorporate soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, sriracha, and sugar, thoroughly blending all components for a harmonious taste experience.
- Final Simmer: Allow the mixture to meld and heat through for an additional 2-3 minutes, ensuring every ingredient is perfectly seasoned and temperature-balanced.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle green onions and toasted sesame seeds over the dish, creating a visually stunning and appetizing one-pan meal ready to be enjoyed immediately.
Notes
- Prep Like a Pro: Chop all vegetables uniformly for consistent cooking and professional-looking results.
- Meat Matters: Choose lean ground chicken for a healthier dish and drain excess fat if needed to prevent sogginess.
- Flavor Boost: Let the mixture simmer briefly to allow seasonings to deeply penetrate and marry together, creating a more complex taste profile.
- Veggie Texture Talk: Don’t overcook cabbage and carrots; aim for tender-crisp to maintain nutritional value and prevent mushy consistency.
