Step 1: Mix the Sauce
In a small bowl or liquid measuring cup, whisk together all the sauce ingredients: the soy sauce (or tamari/coconut aminos), toasted sesame oil, rice vinegar, Sriracha (if using), and white pepper. Set it aside. This allows the flavors to meld and ensures you can add it to the pan quickly when the time is right.

Step 2: Brown the Chicken and Aromatics
Place a large skillet, wok, or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the 1 tablespoon of cooking oil. Once the oil is shimmering, add the ground chicken to the pan. Break it up with a wooden spoon or spatula and cook until it is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

Add the diced yellow onion and the white parts of the green onions to the chicken. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, until the onion has softened. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger and cook for one minute more, stirring constantly, until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.

Step 3: Wilt the Vegetables
Add the entire bag of coleslaw mix and the chopped water chestnuts (if using) to the skillet. Use tongs or a large spoon to toss everything together with the cooked chicken and aromatics. Continue to cook, tossing frequently, for about 5-7 minutes. You want the cabbage to wilt and become tender, but still retain a slight bite—this “tender-crisp” texture is key. Do not overcook it into a mushy state.

Step 4: Sauce and Simmer
Give your pre-mixed sauce a quick whisk again and pour it all over the contents of the skillet. Stir everything together to ensure the chicken and vegetables are evenly coated. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let it cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and the flavors to meld into every component of the dish.

Step 5: Finish and Serve
Turn off the heat. Stir in the green parts of the sliced green onions, reserving some for garnish.

Step 6: Garnish and Enjoy
Spoon the Chicken Egg Roll in a Bowl mixture into individual bowls. Garnish generously with your desired toppings: a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds, a shower of crispy wonton strips, and the remaining sliced green onions. A final drizzle of spicy mayo or Yum Yum sauce takes it over the top. Serve immediately and enjoy the incredible flavors.
