In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce, 2 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil, and 1 tsp Sriracha (if using). Set aside. Dice 1/2 yellow onion, mince 2 cloves garlic, grate 1 tbsp fresh ginger, and shred 4 cups green cabbage and 1 cup shredded carrots.

Heat 1 tbsp avocado oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 1 lb ground chicken (93% lean) and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.

In the same skillet, add the diced 1/2 yellow onion, minced 2 cloves garlic, and grated 1 tbsp fresh ginger. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and softened. This builds the essential flavor base for your Protein-Packed Egg Roll Bowls with Chicken & Cabbage.

Add 4 cups shredded green cabbage and 1 cup shredded carrots to the skillet. Cook, stirring frequently, for 3-5 minutes until the cabbage begins to wilt and soften. Season lightly with salt and pepper to taste.

Return the cooked 1 lb ground chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour in the prepared sauce mixture. Stir well to combine all ingredients, ensuring the chicken and vegetables are evenly coated.
