Ingredients
  • 500 g Chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/2 medium head Cabbage, shredded
  • 1/2 Onion, sliced
  • 3 tbsp Soy sauce (or coconut aminos)
  • 2 tbsp Sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp Rice vinegar
  • 3 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp Ginger, grated
  • 1 tsp Swerve (or other keto sweetener)
  • 1/4 tsp Red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 2 Green onions, sliced, for garnish
  • 1 tsp Sesame seeds, for garnish

Preparation

Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Shred the cabbage and slice the onion. Mince the garlic and grate the ginger. Prepare all ingredients before starting the stir-fry for efficiency.

Making the Keto Stir-Fry Sauce

In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce (or coconut aminos), sesame oil, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, Swerve, and red pepper flakes (if using). Whisk well to ensure all ingredients are properly mixed.

Stir-Frying the Ingredients

Heat a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add a tablespoon of oil (such as avocado oil or coconut oil) to the pan. Add the chicken and stir-fry for 5-7 minutes, or until cooked through and lightly browned. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside. Add the sliced onion to the wok and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, or until softened. Add the shredded cabbage to the wok and stir-fry for 5-7 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender but still slightly crisp. Return the cooked chicken to the wok. Pour the prepared stir-fry sauce over the chicken and cabbage. Stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes, or until the sauce is heated through and coats the chicken and cabbage evenly. Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.

Serving Suggestions

Serve immediately as a main course. For a more complete meal, you can serve it over cauliflower rice or with a side of steamed broccoli.
