Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon grated ginger
• 1 pound ground chicken ((I used 93/7))
• 1 cup sliced onions ((105 grams))
• 4 heaping cups sliced cabbage ((300 grams))
• 1 cup shredded carrots ((85 grams))
• 2 cups diced mushrooms ((170 grams))
• salt and pepper, to taste
• for topping - sriracha, green onions, cilantro, lime juice, sesame seeds…
• for servings - rice
• 3 tablespoons coconut aminos
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1/2 tablespoon honey
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1/2 teaspoon fish sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• pinch of pepper

Instructions

1. Make the stir-fry sauce. Combine the coconut aminos, lime juice, honey, sesame oil, fish sauce, red pepper flakes, and a pinch of pepper in a small bowl or jar. Adjust according to taste. Set aside.
2. Cook the chicken. Heat a large skillet over medium to medium-low heat, add oil, and let it get hot. Add the ginger and garlic and saute, constantly stirring, for 30 seconds until fragrant. Be careful it doesn’t burn. Then add your chicken, breaking it up with a spatula or meat chopper. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 5-6 minutes until browned on the outside and cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
3. Sauté your veggies. Leaving the meat juices in the pan (if your chicken is super lean, add a little more oil), add the onion and a pinch of salt and pepper, and saute for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the cabbage and mix well to combine. Sauté for another 4-5 minutes. Finally, add your carrots, mushrooms, salt, and pepper, and saute for 1-2 minutes.
4. Bring it all together. Add back your chicken (along with its juices) and your stir-fry sauce. Mix well to combine and let warm through, about 1-2 minutes.
5. Enjoy! Top with optional toppings and serve with sides of choice.
