Ingredients
  

For the Bowl:
  • 1 Tbsp avocado oil or light olive oil
  • 1 lb ≈450 g boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 Tbsp fresh ginger minced or grated
  • 1 medium yellow onion thinly sliced
  • 4 cups shredded green cabbage
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 3 Tbsp low-sodium soy sauce or tamari for gluten-free
  • 1 Tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame oil added at end
  • 2 green onions sliced (for garnish)
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds optional garnish

Method
 

  1. Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces, season with salt and pepper, and cook 4-5 minutes until the edges begin to crisp and the chicken is nearly cooked through. You’ll hear the sizzle and notice golden bits forming.
  2. Add the minced garlic and ginger; stir and cook about 30 seconds until aromatic, the fragrance filling the air.
  3. Add the sliced onion, shredded cabbage and carrots; stir everything together and cook 2-3 minutes until the cabbage starts to wilt but still retains a slight crunch.
  4. Pour in the soy sauce and rice vinegar, stirring to coat all the ingredients. Let the mixture simmer for 1-2 minutes until everything is glazed and warmed through.
  5. Turn off the heat, drizzle the toasted sesame oil over the top, and stir. The sesame oil enhances the flavour with a nutty finish—don’t skip this final touch.
  6. Divide the contents into four bowls. Garnish with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. Serve immediately to preserve that crisp-tender texture and bright flavour.
