Ingredients

  • 4 cups cooked brown rice (I cooked mine in chicken stock), warmed
  • 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into small chunks (about 1” long by 1/2” wide)

  • 2 cups sliced cremini mushrooms
  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1/4 cup Hoisin sauce
  • 2 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 2 1/2 cups shredded cabbage

  5. Add the mushrooms, water chestnuts and cook for about 2 minutes, stirring around.
  6. Add in the rice vinegar and Hoisin and stir to coat the chicken.
  7. Test the chicken to ensure it’s at 165F, cooked all the way through.
