Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 lb Ground chicken or turkey
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce or tamari if gluten-free
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp ginger, minced
  • 1 bag coleslaw
  • 2 tsp soy sauce or tamari if gluten-free
  • 1/2 cup sweet chili sauce
  • 1 cup cucumber, cut into matchsticks
  • 1 cup red pepper, sliced
  • 200 g rice stick vermicelli noodles about half of a 400g package
  • 1/3 cup cilantro, chopped (can also use/add in fresh mint and basil)
  • Sesame seeds, soy sauce & sriracha to taste

Instructions

  • Heat sesame oil over med-high heat in a large skillet. Add ground chicken and 2 tbsp soy sauce, cooking for 2-3 min. Add garlic and ginger, then sautee for 7-8 min until chicken is fully cooked.
  • Remove chicken from pan and add coleslaw and 2 tsp soy sauce, sauteeing for 2-3 min until slaw is slightly wilted. Meanwhile, cook vermicelli noodles according to package directions (usually takes 2-3 min in boiling water).
  • Divide sweet chili sauce among the bottom of 4 medium-sized mason jars (it ends up being about 2 tbsp sweet chili sauce added to each 16oz jar). Divide chicken among jars, then coleslaw, cucumber and red pepper. Top with vermicelli noodles, fresh herbs and sesame seeds. Add soy sauce and sriracha if desired. Jars keep in fridge up to 5 days.

Notes

Substitute ground chicken for ground turkey, pork or beef.
For a vegetarian option, use edamame, tofu or tempeh instead of ground turkey.
Make your own coleslaw mix using shredded cabbage, carrot and radish.
Store these jars in the fridge up to 5 days.
I typically eat them cold, but you can warm them up in the microwave for 1-2 minutes then pour into a large bowl and dig in.
