Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil or sesame oil
  • 4 cups green cabbage, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium carrot, shredded
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

  2. Add the ground chicken and cook for 5–7 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula, until fully cooked and lightly browned.

  4. Add the sliced cabbage and shredded carrot. Stir fry for 4–6 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still slightly crisp.
