Ingredients

4½ tbsp soy sauce coconut aminos for keto diet
4½ tbsp honey sugar-free maple syrup for keto diet
2 tbsp ketchup optional to taste
1 tsp rice vinegar
¼ tsp sesame oil
5 garlic cloves minced OR 1.5 tsp garlic paste
1½ cups shredded carrots
3½ cups Asian Salad Kit (in a bag) OR bagged coleslaw I like to use the Asian Salad Kit because it comes with fried wontons

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, ketchup, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes; set aside.
In a large rimmed skillet set over medium heat, cook ground chicken (or turkey). Break ground chicken up into little pieces using a spatula. Cook until no longer pink and all the liquid has cooked off; about 6-9 minutes.
Pour garlic sesame mixture into skillet. Toss the mixture together until chicken takes on the color of the sauce. The skillet should come to a simmer, cook until most of the liquid is thick and absorbed by the chicken.
To the skillet, add shredded cabbage, shredded carrots, and snow peas/sugar snaps. Toss together until coated well.
Serve and garnish with fried wontons, and green onions.

Notes

Fried Wontons - Wontons come in a small square package. I have always found mine in the refrigerated produce section of the grocery store. Wontons can usually be found by the salad kits. To fry your own wontons, add vegetable oil ( about 1/4 cup) to a saucepan. Place a fresh wonton wrapper in the oil and fry until golden brown on each side. If you pick up the Asian Salad Kit lettuce bag, it comes with a packet of fried wontons.

To make this recipe healthier, use coconut aminos in place of soy sauce. Skip the ketchup. Then, replace the honey with sugar-free maple syrup.
