Ingredients needed and substitutions

• Pick a Protein: I used, 1 package of ground chicken chop meat you can change it up and add your preference, if you are vegan you can add tofu, or ground veggie burgers to create a vegan crack slaw... yum!

• 1 head of chopped cabbage or if you don't have time to shred the cabbage use a package of Dole Coleslaw Mix which is basically shedded cabbage and carrots which is what I used, fast, easy and fresh.

• Unseasoned rice vinegar - This rice vinegar is less acidic and serves up a delicate, mild, somewhat sweet flavor.
• Low Sodium Soy Sauce - A great soy free alternative is Coconut Secret Coconut Aminos - THE HEALTHY SECRET - Coconut sap is the healthy secret to all of Coconut Secret products. It is loaded with a wide range of minerals, vitamins, and 17 amino acids. It's also low-glycemic and has a nearly neutral pH. Plus, since it comes from the tree and not the fruit, it doesn't have a coconutty flavor.
• Sesame Oil - Sesame oil has health benefits. Compared to other vegetable oils, sesame-based oils have much less saturated and more unsaturated fat.
• If you want to turn this into an Asian Cabbage Slaw try adding some Ginger Dressing or Peanut Sauce and a handful of sesame seeds.

Preparation Instructions

Step 1 - In a small bowl, whisk together the first eight ingredients then set aside.

Step 2 - Spray a large nonstick skillet of wok with the avocado oil spray and set over high heat. When warm, add the ground chicken to the pan breaking it up with a spatula. Season with salt, pepper, and cook until no longer pink, about 5-6 minutes.

Step 3 - Add the garlic and ginger, and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant, then set ground chicken to the side in a bowl.

Step 4 - Add the shredded cabbage, carrots, and whites of the scallions to the pan. Cook, stirring frequently, for 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened but still have a slight crunch.

Step 5 - Push the veggies to one side of the pan and add the whisked eggs to the empty side. Scramble the eggs until cooked through, then mix them with the veggies.

Step 6 - Stir in the remaining scallions, soy sauce, and rice vinegar. Cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes, then add the ground chicken back to the pan to let the flavors meld together.

Step 7 - Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, as needed.

Step 8 - Drizzle the reserved sauce over the top, and garnish with fresh cilantro to Thai basil, if desired.

Step 9 - Serving size about 1 ½ cups.

Recipe FAQ's

Expert Tips

• Choose Lean Meats: Opt for lean meats like ground chicken or turkey for your protein source. These are lower in fat and calories compared to ground beef.
• Quality Coleslaw Mix: Start with a high-quality coleslaw mix. Look for one that's fresh and free of added sugars or high-carb ingredients.
• Proper Seasoning: Season your meat with a blend of low-carb seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, and a pinch of red pepper flakes for some heat.
• Use Fresh Ingredients: Whenever possible, use fresh vegetables for your crack slaw, including cabbage, bell peppers, and green onions.
• Thinly Slice Vegetables: Ensure that you thinly slice your vegetables for a pleasant texture in the final dish. A mandoline slicer can be very helpful.
• Stir-Fry Technique: Stir-fry your meat and vegetables in a hot wok or skillet. This ensures they cook quickly and retain their crispness.
• Keto-Friendly Sauce: Create a keto-friendly sauce using ingredients like soy sauce or coconut aminos, sesame oil, and a sugar substitute like erythritol or stevia.
• Minimize Carbs: Avoid high-carb additions like sugar, regular soy sauce, and cornstarch. Opt for low-carb alternatives like xanthan gum or glucomannan to thicken your sauce.
• Sesame Seeds: Toast some sesame seeds to add a nutty flavor and crunch to your dish. Sprinkle them on top just before serving.
• Garlic and Ginger: Freshly minced garlic and ginger add a burst of flavor. Sauté them briefly in oil before adding the meat and vegetables.
• Vinegar for Balance: A splash of rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar can help balance the flavors and add a touch of acidity.
• Portion Control: Pay attention to portion sizes to keep your meal in line with your keto and Weight Watchers goals. A food scale can be handy for accurate measurements.
• Meal Prep: Make extra and portion it out for quick and easy keto-friendly lunches or dinners throughout the week.
• Experiment with Spices: Feel free to experiment with low-carb spices and herbs like cilantro, basil, or crushed red pepper flakes to customize the flavor to your liking.
• Garnish with Fresh Herbs: Add freshness to your dish by garnishing with fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley before serving. It not only enhances the presentation but also the flavor.
