Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Toss wonton strips with 1 tsp oil and a pinch of salt. Spread in a single layer on the baking sheet. Bake for 8–10 minutes, tossing halfway, until golden and crisp. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tbsp neutral oil over medium-high heat. Add ground chicken; cook, stirring and breaking up meat, until browned and cooked through, about 5–6 minutes.

Step 4

Add garlic, ginger, and black pepper; cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Stir in cabbage, carrots, and red bell pepper. Cook for 3–4 minutes, stirring often, until vegetables are just tender but still crisp.

Step 6

Add soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Stir well to combine. Add most of the green onions, reserving some for garnish. Cook for 1 more minute, then remove from heat.

Step 7

To serve, divide warm rice among bowls. Top with chicken and cabbage mixture. Sprinkle with baked wonton strips, remaining green onions, sesame seeds, and a drizzle of chili sauce if desired.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

Add water chestnuts or mushrooms for extra crunch or umami. Ensure the cabbage is sliced very thin so it wilts slightly while maintaining a crisp texture during the quick stir-fry.

Varianten und Anpassungen

For gluten-free, use tamari and gluten-free wonton wrappers or omit the wontons. You can also substitute ground turkey or plant-based crumbles for the chicken to suit your dietary needs.
