Ingredients

• 8 sheets Nori seaweed sheets
• 1 tablespoon Coconut oil
• 250 grams Ground chicken
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, minced
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce (or coconut aminos for stricter keto)
• 100 grams Cabbage, shredded
• 1 medium Carrot, julienned
• 50 grams Bean sprouts
• 2 stalks Green onions, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
• 1 small Red chili, sliced (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the minced garlic and ginger to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 3

Add the ground chicken to the skillet and cook while crumbling with a spoon until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the soy sauce (or coconut aminos) and continue to cook until the liquid is mostly absorbed.

Step 5

Add the shredded cabbage, julienned carrot, and bean sprouts to the skillet and stir-fry together for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are just tender but still crisp.

Step 6

Remove the skillet from heat and mix in the chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Allow the filling to cool slightly.

Step 7

Lay a nori sheet on a flat surface with the rough side facing up. Place a few spoonfuls of the chicken and vegetable mixture near one edge of the sheet, ensuring it's compact but not overfilled.

Step 8

Roll the seaweed over the filling tightly, similar to a sushi roll, making sure to seal the edge with a tiny dab of water.

Step 9

Repeat with the remaining nori sheets and filling.

Step 10

Slice each roll into bite-sized pieces using a sharp knife.

Step 11

Serve fresh with a side of chili slices for those who enjoy a spicy kick.
