Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups (170g) coleslaw mix
- 2 teaspoons (10g) olive oil
- 1 pound ground chicken breast
- 3 tablespoons (63g) honey
- 2 tablespoons (30g) chili garlic sauce or Sriracha
- 2 tablespoons (30g) coconut aminos or low sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons (30g) Chinese black vinegar or balsamic vinegar
- 2 teaspoons crushed ginger (or 2 frozen ginger cubes)
- ¼ cup water
- 2 packs (95g each) instant noodles (ramen or knife-cut style)
- Chives or scallions, for garnish
- Toasted sesame seeds, for garnish
Instructions
- Bring a pot of water to a boil for the noodles.
- Heat olive oil in a large nonstick pan over medium heat. Add coleslaw mix and a pinch of salt. Cook for 3–4 minutes until slightly browned but still crisp. Remove and set aside.
- In the same pan, cook ground chicken for 2–3 minutes per side until golden. Break apart and cook through.
- Add honey, chili garlic sauce, coconut aminos, vinegar, ginger, and water. Stir and simmer for 3–4 minutes until thick and slightly caramelized.
- Cook noodles according to package instructions. Reserve ½ cup noodle water, then drain.
- Add noodles, chicken, and veggies together. Toss well, adding reserved water as needed to loosen the sauce.
- Garnish with scallions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Adjust spice level with more or less chili garlic sauce.
- Use reserved noodle water to control sauce consistency.
- Swap ground chicken with turkey, shrimp, or tofu if desired.
- Don’t over-stir the sauce while cooking—it helps create that sticky texture.
