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 Dish
- 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, grated ginger, and Chinese 5-spice powder. Whisk well until fully blended and set the sauce aside.
- Cook Green Onions: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1-2 teaspoons of oil and swirl to coat the bottom. Add the white and light green parts of the sliced green onions and cook for 2–3 minutes until they soften, stirring occasionally.
- Cook Ground Chicken: Add the ground chicken to the skillet. Break it up with a wooden spoon and cook for 5–6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and no longer pink.
- Add Broccoli Slaw and Sauce: Turn the heat up to medium-high. Add the broccoli slaw mix and the prepared sauce to the skillet. Cook for 6–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the slaw is crisp-tender or cooked to your preference.
- Finish with Green Onions: Stir in the dark green parts of the sliced green onions, remove the skillet from heat, and mix well.
- Serve and Garnish: Divide the egg roll mixture into bowls and top with optional black sesame seeds, sriracha, sliced avocado, and/or fresh cilantro as desired for extra flavor and texture.
