Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground chicken
• 3 stalks Scallions, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, freshly grated
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Hoisin sauce
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs
• 1 large Egg
• 1 head Napa cabbage, sliced into wide strips
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil, divided
• 2 teaspoons Rice vinegar
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Sriracha or chili sauce (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, scallions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce (2 tablespoons), hoisin sauce, sesame oil, breadcrumbs, and the egg. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the mixture.

Step 2

Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties. Place them on a plate or tray and set aside.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken patties to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F). Remove the patties from the skillet and set aside, keeping them warm.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the sliced Napa cabbage and cook over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the edges are slightly charred and the cabbage is tender-crisp.

Step 5

Drizzle the cooked cabbage with the remaining 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and the rice vinegar. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Toss well to coat evenly.

Step 6

To serve, plate each chicken patty alongside a generous portion of the seared Napa cabbage. Optionally, drizzle with sriracha or chili sauce for a bit of heat.

Step 7

Enjoy your Mu Shu Chicken Patties with Seared Napa Cabbage!
