Knife
Cutting board

Ingredients

1 pound ground chicken 453g
4 cups shredded cabbage 340g
2 tablespoons avocado oil 30ml
1 medium onion, finely chopped about 150g
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated about 15g
2 tablespoons soy sauce or coconut aminos 30ml
1 tablespoon sesame oil 15ml
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar 5ml
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes optional for heat
Salt and pepper to taste
Green onions and sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

Heat avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, and cook for an additional minute, until fragrant.
Add the ground chicken to the skillet, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook until the chicken is browned and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
While the chicken is cooking, in a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce or coconut aminos, sesame oil, apple cider vinegar, and red pepper flakes if using. Set aside.
Once the chicken is cooked, add the shredded cabbage to the skillet. Cook, stirring frequently, until the cabbage is tender-crisp, about 5 minutes.
Pour the ginger sauce over the chicken and cabbage mixture, tossing to coat evenly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Remove from heat and transfer to serving dishes.
Garnish with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds before serving.

Notes

For a spicier kick, increase the amount of red pepper flakes or add a splash of hot sauce.

If you're avoiding soy, opt for coconut aminos as a gluten-free and soy-free alternative to soy sauce.

This dish can be stored in an airtight container and refrigerated for up to 3 days, making it an excellent option for meal prep.

Feel free to add other keto-friendly vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini for extra texture and flavor.
