Ingredients
Scale
Protein and Oils
- 1 lb. ground chicken (or ground turkey, beef, or pork)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Seasonings and Sauces
- Salt and ground pepper, to taste
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger
- 1 teaspoon roasted red chili paste (or more if you like spice)
Vegetables and Garnish
- 4 cups coleslaw mix
- 1/4 cup green onions, sliced
- Sesame seeds, for garnish
Instructions
- Heat the Oil: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat to prepare for cooking the ground chicken.
- Cook the Ground Chicken: Add the ground chicken to the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned and fully cooked, breaking up the meat as it cooks to ensure even browning.
- Add Aromatics: Once the chicken is browned, add minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant to release the flavors.
- Mix in Sauces and Paste: Stir in the low-sodium soy sauce, sesame oil, and roasted red chili paste. Let the mixture simmer for a few minutes to blend the flavors thoroughly.
- Add Vegetables: Add the coleslaw mix and sliced green onions to the skillet. Toss everything to combine well and cook until the coleslaw is just wilted and tender, about 3-4 minutes.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish the dish with sesame seeds before serving for added texture and flavor.
Notes
- Ground turkey, beef, or pork can be substituted for ground chicken depending on preference.
- Adjust the amount of roasted red chili paste to control the spice level.
- Use low-sodium soy sauce to make the dish healthier and reduce sodium intake.
- For a vegetarian version, try using crumbled tofu or a plant-based ground meat substitute.
- Serve the bowls with steamed rice or cauliflower rice for a complete meal.
