# How-To Steps:

01 - Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Cut wonton wrappers into thin strips, toss with 1 tablespoon oil and a pinch of salt. Spread in a single layer on the baking sheet and bake for 7 to 9 minutes, tossing halfway through, until golden and crisp. Set aside.
02 - Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add ground chicken, breaking it up as it cooks, until browned and cooked through, approximately 5 to 6 minutes.
03 - Add minced garlic, grated ginger, and chopped onion to the chicken. Sauté for 2 minutes until fragrant.
04 - Stir in shredded carrot, sliced cabbage, and red bell pepper. Sauté for 4 to 5 minutes until vegetables are tender yet maintain their crispness.
05 - Add soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, toasted sesame oil, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir well and cook for 1 to 2 minutes more. Remove from heat.
06 - Divide cooked rice evenly among 4 bowls. Top each bowl with the chicken and vegetable mixture. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
07 - Top each bowl with a generous handful of crispy wonton strips and serve immediately.
