Instructions

  1. Start your rice cooker.
  2. Place all sauce ingredients in the blender and mix. Taste and add more peanut butter or ginger if desired, but resist adding more sriracha. People can always add more heat at the table. 
  3. Chop cabbage and bok choy (separating leaves from stems cuz they cook differently).
  4. Heat 1 tsp sesame oil. Fry the bok choy stems and remove (or slide up to edges of wok).
  5. Fry cabbage and remove (or move up).
  6. Fry bok choy leaves and remove (or move up).
  7. Add another tsp of sesame oil if needed and make sure heat is on high. When pan is hot, add ground chicken.
  8. With paper towel, sqeeze off any excess liquid from the water chestnuts. Add to pan when chicken is nearly done and no longer pink. 
  9. Add the sauce and all the veggies. Cook a few more minutes until the sauce reduces a bit. 
  10. Serve over rice and garnish with chopped green onions & sesame seeds.
