Ingredients
Scale
Sauce
- ½ cup coconut aminos
- 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 5 garlic cloves, minced (about 2 1/2 tablespoons)
- 1 tablespoon grated peeled fresh ginger (or 1 teaspoon ground ginger)
- ½ teaspoon Chinese 5-spice powder
Main Ingredients
- 1-2 teaspoons avocado oil, coconut oil, or olive oil
- 8 green onions, sliced; white/light green and dark green parts separated
- 1 pound lean ground chicken or turkey (93% lean / 7% fat)
- 2 12-ounce bags broccoli slaw mix or coleslaw mix
Optional Toppings
- Black sesame seeds
- Sriracha
- Sliced avocado
- Fresh cilantro
Instructions
- Prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, combine the coconut aminos, toasted sesame oil, rice vinegar, minced garlic, fresh grated ginger, and Chinese 5-spice powder. Whisk these ingredients together until well mixed, then set the sauce aside.
- Cook the aromatics: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. When the skillet is hot, add the avocado, coconut, or olive oil, swirling to coat the bottom evenly. Add the white and light green parts of the sliced green onions and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally until they start to soften.
- Cook the ground meat: Add the lean ground chicken or turkey to the skillet. Use a large wooden spoon to break up the meat while cooking for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and no longer pink.
- Add the slaw and sauce: Turn the heat up to medium-high. Add the broccoli slaw mix and the prepared sauce to the skillet. Cook for 6 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the slaw is crisp-tender and cooked to your liking.
- Finish with green onions and serve: Stir in the dark green parts of the sliced green onions, then remove the skillet from the heat. Serve the dish in bowls, and garnish with optional toppings such as black sesame seeds, sriracha, sliced avocado, and fresh cilantro if desired.
