# How to Make It:

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 baking sheet.
02 - Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, tossing halfway through, until golden and crisp. Set aside.
03 - 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, about 5 to 6 minutes.
04 - Add minced garlic, grated ginger, and black pepper to the skillet. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
05 - Stir in cabbage, carrots, and red bell pepper. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring often, until vegetables are just tender but still crisp.
06 - Add soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Stir well to combine. Add most of the green onions, reserving some for garnish. Cook for 1 more minute, then remove from heat.
07 - Divide warm rice among serving bowls. Top with chicken and cabbage mixture. Sprinkle with baked wonton strips, remaining green onions, sesame seeds, and a drizzle of chili sauce if desired.

02 -
  • Watch the Wontons: The wonton strips can go from golden to burnt very quickly, so keep a close eye on them during the last 2 minutes of baking.

  • Don't Overcrowd: If your skillet is small, cook the chicken and vegetables in batches to prevent them from steaming.
