# How to Make It:
01 - Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Toss wonton strips with 1 teaspoon oil and a pinch of salt. Spread in a single layer on the baking sheet. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, tossing halfway through, until golden and crisp. Set aside.
02 - In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon neutral oil over medium-high heat. Add ground chicken, stirring and breaking up the meat until browned and cooked through, approximately 5 to 6 minutes.
03 - Add minced garlic, grated ginger, and black pepper to the cooked chicken. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
04 - Stir in sliced cabbage, shredded carrots, and sliced red bell pepper. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring frequently, until vegetables are tender yet remain crisp.
05 - Add soy sauce, rice vinegar, and toasted sesame oil, stirring well to combine. Add most of the green onions, reserving some for garnish. Cook for 1 additional minute, then remove from heat.
06 - Divide warm rice among serving bowls. Top each bowl with the chicken and cabbage mixture. Sprinkle with baked wonton strips, reserved green onions, sesame seeds, and a drizzle of chili sauce if desired.
