Prep
- Cauliflower rice - Pulse florets in a food processor until broken up into ‘rice’-sized bits. Cook rice in one of two ways: 1) Microwave for 4 to 5 minutes and then fold in butter. Season with some salt and pepper; or 2) Heat a pan over medium-high heat and add butter. Saute cauliflower in heated butter for ~5 minutes, until tender but still crunchy. Season to taste with some salt and pepper. Watch this video for the full how-to on cauliflower rice. (Can be done up to 5 days ahead)
- Broccoli / Celery / Ginger / Garlic - Prep as directed. Store broccoli and celery each in their own containers. Combine ginger and garlic in another container. (Can be done up to 5 days ahead)
- Make stir-fry sauce - Combine ginger, garlic, aminos, water, vinegar, and honey. (Can be done up to 5 days ahead)
- Chicken - Chop chicken into bite-sized pieces. Tenderize with a fork and season lightly with some salt and pepper. (Can be done 1 day ahead)

Make
- Heat a wok with first part of oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken and saute until golden brown and nearly cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes. Set chicken aside and return wok to heat.
- Add second part of oil to heated wok and then broccoli. Saute broccoli for 1 minute to get it started cooking. Add stock to wok and cover with a lid. Steam broccoli for 2 minutes (steam for 2 to 3 minutes more if you'd like it very tender). Remove lid and add celery and coleslaw mix. Continue cooking vegetables until liquid has cooked off and vegetables are all tender.
- Move vegetables to the side of the wok to create a donut shape with a hole in the center. Pour stir-fry sauce in the hole and wait for sauce to start bubbling.
- Add chicken back to wok and toss everything together to combine. Continue cooking until chicken is cooked through.
- Remove wok from heat and stir in sesame seeds.
- If cauliflower rice was made ahead, reheat in the microwave.
- Serve stir-fry over cauliflower rice. Finish with some hot sauce if you’d like. Enjoy!

Really good. I didn't double the sauce and found it sufficient. I added 1 TB cornstarch (4 servings) and the sauce thickened nicely. Definitely needed sriracha!

We enjoyed the brocolli and coleslaw mix for veggies. I often double the sauce but this was very adequate. Agreed that the sriracha was nice addition.
0 HelpfulLoved this one! Used frozen broccoli so modified the beginning part of the recipe. I usually double the sauce and this one didn’t need it, there was plenty already.
0 HelpfulThe chicken was bland, the sauce had very little flavor despite the aromatics, and the veggies massively overcooked in the allotted time.
