# Directions:

01 - Thinly slice the chicken, shred the cabbage and carrots, mince the garlic and ginger, slice the onion, and chop the green onions.
02 - Heat neutral oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering.
03 - Add the sliced onion and cook for about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until translucent.
04 - Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger; cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
05 - Add the chicken, season lightly with salt and pepper, and cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cooked through and no pink remains.
06 - Push the chicken mixture to one side of the pan. Add shredded cabbage and carrots to the empty side.
07 - Cook the vegetables for 3–4 minutes, tossing occasionally, until they begin to soften but still retain some crunch.
08 - Mix chicken and vegetables together in the pan until evenly combined.
09 - Stir in soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and sugar or honey. Toss to coat and cook for 1–2 minutes until heated through.
10 - Taste and adjust seasoning with extra soy sauce, salt, or pepper if needed.
11 - Remove from heat and divide mixture into serving bowls. Garnish each bowl with sliced green onions, toasted sesame seeds, and a drizzle of Sriracha or chili crisp if desired.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Everything you love about egg rolls without the mess of frying or the post-meal grease fog
  • Ready in under 30 minutes but tastes like something that simmered all afternoon
  • Meal prep friendly and actually better the next day when flavors have had time to marry
02 -
  • Prepping everything before you start cooking is non-negotiable. Once you add that first ingredient to the hot pan, you won't have time to chop.
  • Don't overcrowd your skillet or the vegetables will steam instead of sear. Work in batches if you need to.
  • Low-sodium soy sauce is crucial because the sauce reduces and concentrates as it cooks.
03 -
  • Toast your sesame seeds in a dry skillet for 2 minutes before topping. It makes a huge difference.
  • Add a teaspoon of fish sauce or hoisin if you want that restaurant-quality depth.
  • Rotisserie chicken works perfectly if you need to cut the cooking time down to under 15 minutes.
