Equipment

  • Large skillet or wok

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked brown rice
  • 1 tbsp oilve oil
  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 1/2 cup diced onion
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp ginger, grated
  • 16 oz coleslaw mix
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp samal oelek or more if like spice
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar
  • 1/4 cup sweet and sour sauce
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 1/2 cup wonton strips
  • 2 tsp black sesame seeds
  • 4 eggs (optional)

Instructions

  • Cook rice according to package directions or with a rice cooker. I also buy Trader Joe's frozen pre-cooked brown rice for when I want to get dinner on the table in a hurry.
  • Heat a large skillet to a medium heat. Add olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to break the meat up as much as possible. Sear chicken, breaking it up as you go, until the chicken is cooked through.
  • Add the sesame oil, cabbage, onion, garlic, ginger, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Continue to cook the chicken and veggies, stirring occassionally, until cabbage has wilted, about 5 minutes.
  • Once the cabbage has wilted, add in soy sauce, sambal oelek, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, garlic powder, and rice vinegar. Continue to saute for another 1-2 minutes. Add in half of the green onion. Toss to combine.
  • Spoon rice into bowls and top with chicken and cabbage mixture. Drizzle a little bit of sweet and sour sauce on top. Sprinkle with wonton strips, green onion, and black sesame seeds.
  • If using egg, fry eggs while the cabbage cooks.
