In my past recipes, I’ve shared my love for Chinese foods. It’s just sad that it doesn’t fit the diet I have. That’s why I’m striving hard to make healthier versions of the foods that I love. By doing this, I don’t have to stop eating the foods that I’m craving.

Let’s get started! For rice, cook brown rice or quinoa according to the instructions and set aside while making the sauce. The sauce consists of hoisin sauce or soy sauce, water, rice vinegar, chili garlic sauce or sriracha, and ginger. Add arrowroot starch if you want the sauce to be thick.

To cook the chicken, add olive oil or sesame oil in a nonstick skillet. Saute garlic and red onion for a few minutes until it becomes translucent and turned brown. Put in the ground turkey or chicken. Fold in cooked rice and prepared sauce. Mix everything then add the green onions.

Now, let’s start building the salad! Combine chopped lettuce, red cabbage, tomatoes, cucumber, carrots, and water chestnut. If this is for meal prep, cool the meat first before adding it in with lettuce to avoid the salad from wilting.

If you want to boost the calories, you can add avocado. And if you’d like more sauce, I suggest adding low-calorie sesame ginger vinaigrette. I assure you, this will be delicious, and you’ll love it!

So, what more can you ask for? This is indeed another yummy salad dish that you can add to your saved recipes! Don’t forget to share it with your loved ones!

Happy eating, everyone! Have a great day!
