Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground chicken (450g), (or crumbled firm tofu for a plant-based option)
- 16 oz coleslaw mix (450g) bag, (or shredded cabbage and carrots)
- 0.25 cup low-sodium soy sauce (60ml)
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil (15ml), for stir-fry
- 1 tsp toasted sesame oil (5ml), for rice
- 2 tbsp rice vinegar (30ml)
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger (15g), grated
- 3 cloves fresh garlic (15g), minced
- 3 cups cooked rice (480g), warm
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds (8g)
Instructions
- Cook Protein: Brown ground chicken in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat, breaking it up as it cooks until no pink remains, then drain any excess fat.
- Add Aromatics: Add minced garlic and grated ginger to the pan, stirring constantly until they become wonderfully aromatic.
- Stir-Fry Veggies: Stir in the coleslaw mix and cook, tossing often, until slightly softened but still vibrant green.
- Make Sauce: Pour in low-sodium soy sauce, rice vinegar, and 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil. Toss vigorously to coat everything evenly.
- Prepare Sesame Rice: While the stir-fry cooks, gently toss warm cooked rice with 1 tsp toasted sesame oil and a sprinkle of sesame seeds until combined and aromatic.
- Serve & Garnish: Ladle the Egg Roll in a Bowl Stir-Fry over the sesame rice. Garnish generously with sliced green onions and extra sesame seeds for crunch.
Notes
Don’t overcook the coleslaw mix; it should retain some crunch. Ensure your pan is hot enough for a proper stir-fry, not a steam. For a plant-based option, swap ground chicken for crumbled firm tofu or tempeh. Use pre-cooked rice packets for even faster prep.
