Sesame Ginger Chicken Stir-Fry
This sweet and savory stir-fry, with a little spice from fresh ginger, is packed with far more flavor than any take-out version. Cook the coleslaw mix so that it is tender but still has a tiny bit of crunch to resemble the noodles in the original version of this meal.
