Instructions
Dice the chicken breast into ½-1 inch pieces, almost minced. You want the chicken to be diced as small as possible.
Season the chicken with the salt, garlic powder and onion powder, and sprinkle with the cornstarch. Toss to coat.
Preheat a wok or large frying pan over medium high heat, and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Add the chicken to the pan.
Cook the chicken on both sides until golden brown on the outside, and cooked on the inside (5-10 minutes).
Add more cooking spray, and then add the cabbage and carrots to the pan. Cover with the lid to allow the vegetables to steam and cook down.
Remove the lid every so often to toss the vegetables. The vegetables should be cooked own after another 5-10 minutes.
In the meantime, make the sauce. Combine the rice vinegar, coconut aminos, coconut sugar, ginger, sesame oil, and garlic cloves in a small bowl and whisk to combine.
Pour the mixture into the pan, and allow to simmer and cook down over medium heat, for about 10 minutes. Garnish with the chopped scallions and sesame seeds.
Serve in lettuce cups.
