- 1 tablespoon grated peeled fresh ginger (or 1 teaspoon ground ginger)
- ½ teaspoon Chinese 5-spice powder
Main Ingredients
- 1-2 teaspoons avocado oil, coconut oil, or olive oil
- 8 green onions, sliced; white/light green and dark green parts separated

- 2 12-ounce bags broccoli slaw mix or coleslaw mix
Optional Toppings

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 thoroughly until blended and set aside.
- Cook the aromatics: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the oil and swirl to coat the pan. Add the white and light green parts of the green onions and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften.
- Cook the ground chicken: Add the ground chicken to the skillet. Break it up with a wooden spoon and cook for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fully cooked and no longer pink.
- Add slaw and sauce: Increase the heat to medium-high. Add the broccoli slaw mix and pour in the prepared sauce. Cook for 6 to 7 minutes while stirring occasionally, until the slaw is crisp-tender or cooked to your liking.
- Finish and serve: Stir in the dark green parts of the green onions, then remove the skillet from heat. Serve the mixture in bowls and garnish with black sesame seeds, sriracha, sliced avocado, and/or fresh cilantro as desired.
