Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic finely minced or microplaned
- 1 tsp fresh ginger finely minced or microplaned
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
- 2 tbsp sriracha more to taste; start with 1 tbsp if sensitive to spicy

- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- salt to taste, if needed
- rice and veggies for serving

Instructions
- Heat oil on medium heat in a large sauté pan. Add garlic and ginger and sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add chicken to the pan and break apart with a spatula. Cook until fully cooked through, about 5–7 minutes.
- Add soy sauce, sriracha, brown sugar, rice vinegar, and black pepper. Combine fully with the ground chicken and continue cooking on low-medium heat for another 5–6 minutes to allow sauce to thicken, stirring regularly. Add additional salt and sriracha to taste if desired.
- Serve with rice and your favorite veggies. Top with additional sriracha, crushed red pepper flakes, or chili crunch if desired.
Notes
For extra heat, try adding chili oil or crushed red pepper flakes. You can also swap chicken with ground turkey or tofu for a lighter variation.
