Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Spicy Sauce
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sriracha, lime juice, and honey until smooth. Taste and adjust the heat by adding more sriracha if desired. Set the sauce aside in the refrigerator to allow the flavors to meld while you cook the main dish.
Step 2: Brown the Chicken
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add a splash of oil if needed, then add the ground chicken. Cook the chicken, breaking it into small crumbles with a wooden spoon, until it is browned and cooked through. Season lightly with salt and pepper, but be mindful of the saltiness in the soy sauce added later.
Step 3: Sauté the Aromatics
Push the cooked chicken to one side of the skillet. Add the toasted sesame oil to the empty side, then toss in the minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for about 30 to 60 seconds until fragrant, then stir them into the chicken. This ensures the flavors infuse directly into the meat.
Step 4: Wilt the Cabbage Mix
Add the entire bag of coleslaw mix to the skillet. Pour the soy sauce over the vegetables. Stir everything together and cook for 3 to 5 minutes. You want the cabbage to soften and wilt slightly, but still retain a bit of “bite” or crunch. Do not overcook it into mush.
Step 5: Garnish and Serve
Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in half of the sliced green onions. Scoop the mixture into bowls and drizzle generously with the prepared spicy sauce. Finish with the remaining green onions and optional sesame seeds for a beautiful presentation.
