A few tips:

  • Use good quality minced chicken, preferably an organic one if possible.
  • I used white cabbage for this chicken stir fry, but you can also use red cabbage, point cabbage or even Savoy cabbage (bu then you have to add it to the pan a little later since it cookes faster than regular cabbage).
  • The amount if chili and kimchi can be adjusted according to how spicy you prefer your food.
  • I used tamari for the stir fry, but you can also use regular soy sauce.
  • I used sugar free brown sugar for this recipe, but you can also use agave, fiber syrup or honey. The purpose is to add a little bit of sweetness, hence all three will work, even though they sauce will taste slightly different depending on which one you use.
    • Fry the minced chicken until it goes from pink to pale/white. But do not fry it for too long so it turns out dry. The minced chicken will keep on cooking in the sauce, so don’t worry about it being raw.
    • Make sure to stir the stir fry regularly when you’ve added the chicken to avoid any big lumps of minced chicken from forming. You want small, equally sized pieces.
