Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 3 tablespoons avocado oil
- 3 cups cabbage
- 1 cup grated carrot
- ½ cup green onions, sliced
- 2 tablespoons ginger, minced or grated
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ cup tamari
- ¼ cup chicken broth
- ¼ cup rice vinegar
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 ½ tablespoons arrowroot starch
- A few grinds of cracked pepper
- 8 rice paper wraps
- Sesame seeds for coating
Creamy Almond Butter Sauce:
- ½ cup creamy almond butter
- 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons tamari
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon sriracha
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 1 clove garlic, minced or grated
- Water to thin
Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon of avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add ground chicken and brown, breaking it up as you go.
- Add in the freshly grated ginger and minced garlic and continue to cook.
- Once your chicken has browned, add your cabbage, carrots, and green onion and cook for 3 to 5 minutes.
- While the chicken and veggies are cooking, whisk together your tamari, broth, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey, starch, and cracker pepper in a small dish.
- Pour the sauce over your chicken and veggie mixture and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken.
- Soak a sheet of rice paper until pliable (just a few seconds will do).
- Add ⅓ cup of filling mixture and fold the edges to wrap (I recommend double-wrapping them to ensure the filling stays intact).
- Roll each pocket in sesame seeds.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of avocado oil in a dry pan over medium-high and fry your rice paper rolls for 2 to 3 minutes per side until lightly golden brown.
- Make the almond butter sauce by stirring together the creamy almond butter, rice vinegar, tamari, honey, sriracha, sesame oil, grated fresh ginger, minced garlic, and a tad of water to thin out the sauce.
- Serve with almond butter dipping sauce. ENJOY!
