- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 (14 ounces) (396 grams) bag coleslaw mix (shredded cabbage and carrots)
- 2 green onions, sliced
Seasonings and Sauces:
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce (optional, for extra flavor)

Instructions
- Warm a spacious skillet with sesame oil over medium temperature, creating a fragrant cooking environment.
- Gently sauté diced onions until they become translucent and soft, releasing their sweet aroma.
- Introduce ground chicken to the skillet, methodically breaking it apart and cooking until completely browned and thoroughly heated.
- Infuse the mixture with minced garlic and ginger, stirring quickly to activate their robust flavors and create an aromatic base.
- Fold in coleslaw mix, ensuring even distribution throughout the skillet and allowing the cabbage to become tender yet retain a slight crispness.
- Enhance the dish with a harmonious blend of soy sauce, rice vinegar, optional hoisin sauce, and red pepper flakes, creating a complex and balanced flavor profile.
- Simmer the ingredients together, allowing the seasonings to coat each component and meld into a cohesive, flavorful mixture.

- Serve immediately while the dish remains warm, offering a delightful combination of textures and flavors reminiscent of traditional egg rolls.
Notes
- Swap ground chicken with tofu or plant-based crumbles for a vegetarian version that maintains the dish’s delicious Asian-inspired flavors.
- Lower sodium content by using low-sodium soy sauce and reducing added salt for heart-healthy meal prep.
- Enhance meal prep efficiency by prepping vegetables and measuring spices ahead of time, cutting total cooking time down to under 15 minutes.
- Transform leftovers into a cold salad by chilling the mixture and adding a splash of sesame oil, creating a refreshing lunch option the next day.
