- 1 cup grated carrots
- 3 green onions, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions
- Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat the sesame oil over medium-high heat to prepare for cooking the chicken.
- Cook the Chicken: Add the diced chicken to the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and sauté for 5-7 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and golden brown on the outside.
- Add Vegetables: Stir in the minced garlic, shredded cabbage, grated carrots, and chopped green onions. Cook together for another 3-5 minutes, ensuring the vegetables remain tender but retain some crispness.
- Season: Pour in the soy sauce and add the ground ginger. Mix everything thoroughly so all the ingredients are evenly coated with the flavors.

Notes
- You can substitute chicken breast with chicken thighs if preferred for a juicier texture.
- For a gluten-free version, use tamari instead of soy sauce.
- If you like your vegetables softer, cook them a bit longer but avoid overcooking to keep some crunch.
- Feel free to add chopped bell peppers or mushrooms to enhance vegetable variety.
- This dish can easily be made vegetarian by replacing chicken with firm tofu or tempeh.
