Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground turkey or chicken
- 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
- 1 medium Onion, diced
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Ginger, freshly grated
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce or tamari (for gluten-free)
- 4 cups Green cabbage, thinly sliced
- 1 cup Carrots, julienned
- 1 medium Red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 0.5 cup Green onions, chopped
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 teaspoons Sesame seeds
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey or chicken and cook until fully browned, about 5-7 minutes, breaking up the meat as it cooks.
Remove the cooked meat from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add the remaining sesame oil and sauté the diced onion until translucent, about 3 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and freshly grated ginger to the onions. Stir and cook for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
Pour in the soy sauce or tamari and stir in the thinly sliced cabbage, julienned carrots, and red bell pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently until the cabbage is tender-crisp.
Return the cooked turkey or chicken back to the skillet. Stir to combine all ingredients evenly.
Create a well in the center of the skillet by pushing the ingredients to the sides. Crack the eggs into the well and scramble them until fully cooked, then stir them into the rest of the mixture.
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving hot in bowls.
