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.
