Directions

Step 1

Finely chop the green onions and mince the garlic cloves and ginger.

In a mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, chopped green onions, minced garlic, and ginger. Add the coconut aminos, fish sauce, and sesame oil to the mixture.

In a large skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium heat.
