Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

2 1/2 cups cabbage, chopped
2/3 cup carrots, grated
1 cup cauliflower, chopped
2 scallions, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced (divided)

Protein

8 oz chicken breast (ground or chopped)

Seasonings and Oils

1 Tbsp tamari sauce
2 Tbsp olive oil
3 Tbsp toasted sesame seeds
Optional: turmeric (to taste)
Optional: crushed red pepper flakes (to taste)

Instructions

Prepare ingredients: Chop all vegetables and the chicken if it is not ground, and mince the garlic cloves separately, reserving one for later use.
Start cooking chicken and aromatics: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the chicken and chopped cauliflower, cooking and stirring occasionally for 4-5 minutes until the chicken is nearly cooked through.
Add remaining vegetables and flavorings: Introduce the chopped cabbage and grated carrots to the pan. Stir in 1 tablespoon tamari sauce along with the remaining minced garlic. Cover the pan with a lid and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and vegetables have softened. Optionally, sprinkle turmeric and crushed red pepper flakes to taste during this step.
Garnish and serve: Remove the lid, stir the mixture gently, and serve topped with toasted sesame seeds and chopped scallions for added flavor and texture.

Notes

Use tamari sauce for a gluten-free soy sauce alternative, enhancing flavor and keeping it gluten-free.
Ground chicken can be substituted with ground turkey or pork as preferred.
For added spice, increase crushed red pepper flakes as desired.
This dish is perfect for meal prep and stores well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Optional turmeric adds a subtle earthiness and anti-inflammatory benefits.
