02 - 2 cups green cabbage, thinly sliced
03 - 1 cup shredded carrots
04 - 0.5 cup red bell pepper, thinly sliced
05 - 3 green onions, thinly sliced
06 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
07 - 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
08 - 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
09 - 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
10 - 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
11 - 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
12 - 1 tablespoon neutral oil

→ Baked Wonton Strips

13 - 6 square wonton wrappers, cut into thin strips
14 - 1 teaspoon neutral oil
15 - Pinch of salt

→ Rice Base

16 - 2 cups cooked jasmine or long-grain white rice, warm

→ Garnishes

17 - 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
18 - Extra sliced green onions
19 - Chili sauce, optional

# Directions:

01 - Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Toss wonton strips with 1 teaspoon oil and a pinch of salt. Spread in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, tossing halfway through, until golden and crisp. Remove and set aside.
02 - In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon neutral oil over medium-high heat. Add ground chicken and cook, stirring and breaking up the meat, until browned and cooked through, approximately 5 to 6 minutes.
03 - Add minced garlic, grated ginger, and black pepper to the chicken. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
04 - Stir in cabbage, carrots, and red bell pepper. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring often, until vegetables are tender yet retain a crisp texture.
05 - Add soy sauce, rice vinegar, and toasted sesame oil. Stir well to combine. Add most of the green onions, reserving some for garnish. Cook for 1 additional minute, then remove from heat.
06 - Divide warm rice among serving bowls. Top with chicken and cabbage mixture. Sprinkle with baked wonton strips, reserved green onions, sesame seeds, and a drizzle of chili sauce if desired.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • Healthier Choice: Baked wonton strips provide the signature crunch without the heavy oil of deep-frying.
  • Quick and Easy: Ready in just 45 minutes, making it a perfect weeknight dinner solution.
  • Customizable: Easily adapted for gluten-free diets or different protein preferences.
  • Nutritious: Packed with fresh cabbage, carrots, and lean ground chicken.
02 -
  • Mise en Place: Since stir-frying happens very fast, have all your vegetables chopped and sauces measured before you start the stove.
  • Watch the Oven: Wonton wrappers go from golden to burnt very quickly; keep a close eye on them during the final minutes of baking.
  • Rice Choice: While jasmine rice is recommended, brown rice or cauliflower rice also work well for a different nutritional profile.
