Let’s Make it together
Sautéing the Meat: Start by heating a large skillet over medium heat, adding ground chicken or turkey. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon until no pink remains.
Add Aromatics and Veggies: Toss in minced garlic and grated ginger once the meat is cooked through. Stir in shredded cabbage and carrots until they soften, about 3-4 minutes.
Seasoning Time!: Drizzle soy sauce (or coconut aminos) over the mixture, followed by sesame oil. Stir well to combine all those delicious flavors together.
Finishing Touches: Sprinkle chopped green onions into the skillet during the last minute of cooking. Give everything another good stir before removing from heat.
Serve & Enjoy!: Dish out portions into bowls while it’s still warm. Top with sesame seeds or sriracha if desired, then dig in!
Cleanup Made Easy!: Since we’re using one pan here, cleanup will be as easy as pie—or should I say egg roll? Just soak your skillet while you savor your meal!
