- 2 cups shredded cabbage
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 1/2 red bell pepper thinly sliced
- 1/2 yellow onion thinly sliced

- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar

Instructions
Heat the pan:
- In a large skillet or wok, heat the sesame oil over medium-high heat.
Cook protein:
- Add the thinly sliced chicken breast (or protein of choice) to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and lightly browned. Remove the protein from the skillet and set it aside.
Sauté vegetables:
- In the same skillet, add a bit more oil if needed. Add the shredded cabbage, carrots, red bell pepper, and onion. Stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender yet still crisp.
Add aromatics:
- Add the minced garlic and ginger to the pan. Stir everything together and cook for 1-2 more minutes until fragrant.
Sauce it up:
- Pour in the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, and rice vinegar. Stir everything together, making sure the veggies and protein are coated in the sauce. Let it cook for another 2-3 minutes.
Final touches:
- Return the cooked protein to the skillet. Add red pepper flakes (if using), and season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir everything together and cook for an additional 2 minutes to heat through.
Garnish and serve:
- Remove from heat and garnish with green onions, sesame seeds, and a squeeze of lime juice for a fresh burst of flavor.
Serving Suggestions:
- Serve your Egg Roll Stir Fry over steamed rice, cauliflower rice, or in lettuce wraps. Pair it with a side of dumplings for an extra indulgence. Enjoy!
