  • 2 cups coleslaw mix (or shredded cabbage)

Sauce
  • 1/4 cup gluten-free tamari or coconut aminos
  • 2 tbsp oyster sauce (check for gluten-free label)
  • 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  2. Add the gluten-free noodles and cook according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  3. Season the sliced chicken with salt and pepper.
  4. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Cooking
  1. Add the seasoned chicken to the hot skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is no longer pink and fully cooked through.
  2. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside on a plate.
  3. In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.
  4. Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Toss the shredded carrots, bell pepper, and coleslaw mix into the skillet. Stir-fry these vegetables for 3-4 minutes until they are tender but still crunchy.
  6. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Add the drained noodles and sliced green onions.
  7. In a separate bowl, whisk together gluten-free tamari, oyster sauce, honey or maple syrup, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes if using. Pour this sauce over everything in the skillet.
  8. Using tongs, toss all the ingredients together until everything is evenly coated in the sauce and heated through, about 2-3 minutes.
Serving

  2. Enjoy your delicious meal immediately!

Notes

To save time, slice your chicken and vegetables in advance. Ensure your skillet is hot before adding ingredients for the best stir-fry texture. Fresh veggies enhance flavor and color.
