Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 pound ground chicken (or turkey)
  • 1 medium yellow onion thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger grated
  • 1 (16-ounce) bag coleslaw mix (shredded cabbage and carrots)
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey (or maple syrup for vegan option if adapting)
  • 1 teaspoon Sriracha (optional, for heat)
Garnishes
  • Toasted sesame seeds (optional)
  • Sliced green onions (optional)
  • Chopped peanuts (optional)
  • A drizzle of extra Sriracha or chili garlic sauce (optional)

Equipment

  • Large skillet or wok

Method
 

  1. Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the ground chicken and break it apart with a spoon. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. If there’s excess grease, carefully drain most of it from the skillet.

  2. Add the thinly sliced yellow onion to the skillet with the cooked chicken. Cook for about 3-5 minutes until the onion begins to soften and turn translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and grated fresh ginger, and cook for another minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn them.

  3. Add the entire 16-ounce bag of coleslaw mix to the skillet. Pour in the soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, and Sriracha (if using). Stir everything together well, ensuring the sauce coats the chicken and cabbage mixture evenly.

  4. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the cabbage begins to soften to your desired tenderness, usually about 5-8 minutes. You want the cabbage to be tender-crisp, not mushy.

  5. Taste the mixture and adjust seasonings as needed. You might want a little more soy sauce for saltiness, more honey for sweetness, or more Sriracha for heat.

  6. Spoon the Egg Roll Bowls Chicken Cabbage into serving bowls. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds, sliced green onions, chopped peanuts, or an extra drizzle of Sriracha, if desired. Serve immediately.
