# Step-by-step guide:
01 - Thinly slice the chicken, shred the cabbage and carrots, mince the garlic and ginger, slice the onion, and chop the green onions. Have all ingredients prepped and within reach.
02 - Heat neutral oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering, approximately 1 to 2 minutes.
03 - Add the sliced onion and cook for about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until translucent and softened.
04 - Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger; cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
05 - Add the chicken, season lightly with salt and pepper, and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cooked through with no pink remaining.
06 - Push the chicken mixture to one side of the pan. Add shredded cabbage and carrots to the empty side.
07 - Cook the vegetables for 3 to 4 minutes, tossing occasionally, until they begin to soften but still retain some crunch.
08 - Mix chicken and vegetables together in the pan until evenly combined.
09 - Stir in soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and sugar or honey. Toss to coat and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until heated through.
10 - Taste and adjust seasoning with extra soy sauce, salt, or pepper as needed.
11 - Remove from heat and divide mixture into serving bowls. Top each bowl with sliced green onions, toasted sesame seeds, and a drizzle of Sriracha or chili crisp if desired.
