Ingredients

Scale

Protein

  • 1 pound Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breast (Substitute with firm tofu or tempeh for a vegetarian option)

Vegetables

  • 4 cups Shredded Cabbage (mix green and purple cabbage for a pop of color)
  • 1 cup Grated Carrots (offers natural sweetness)
  • 3 Green Onions (chopped; use chives if unavailable)
  • 3 cloves Garlic (minced; adds savory depth)

Seasonings and Sauces

  • 2 tablespoons Soy Sauce (use tamari for gluten-free option)
  • 1 tablespoon Sesame Oil (can be replaced with olive oil)
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Ginger (or fresh, 1 tablespoon for warmth)
  • Salt (to taste)
  • Pepper (to taste)

Optional Toppings

  • Sesame seeds
  • Cilantro
  • Sriracha

Instructions

  1. Heat the Skillet: In a large skillet, warm up sesame oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers lightly. This ensures the oil is hot enough to properly sear the chicken and develop flavor.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Add diced chicken to the skillet, seasoning generously with salt and pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown on all sides.
  3. Add Vegetables and Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic, shredded cabbage, grated carrots, and chopped green onions. Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, just until the cabbage softens but still retains a crisp texture, keeping the vegetables fresh and vibrant.
  4. Season the Bowl: Pour in the soy sauce and add the ground ginger, mixing everything thoroughly to evenly coat the ingredients and bring out the warm, savory flavors.
  5. Adjust and Serve: Give your creation a quick taste test. Adjust the seasoning by adding more salt, pepper, or soy sauce if needed. Remove from heat and serve hot, garnished with optional toppings like sesame seeds, fresh cilantro, or a drizzle of Sriracha for a spicy kick.

Notes

  • Use tamari instead of soy sauce for a gluten-free version.
  • Substitute chicken with firm tofu or tempeh to make this dish vegetarian.
  • Adjust the amount of ginger and garlic according to your taste preferences.
  • For added crunch, sprinkle toasted sesame seeds on top before serving.
  • Sriracha or your favorite hot sauce can be added for extra heat.
  • Cooking times may vary depending on the size of the chicken pieces and stove heat.
