Chef's tip
Ground chicken is often leaner than ground beef and can dry out more quickly. When browning it, add a little oil if needed and keep the pan juices unless the recipe says to drain them. Cook just until it reaches 165°F (74°C).
1 tbsp olive oil
4 scallions (green tops only), thinly sliced
1 tbsp fresh ginger, finely grated
2 tbsp coconut aminos
Chef's tip
Soy sauce is saltier and less sweet; start with less and adjust.
2 tbsp fresh lime juice (about 1 lime)
1 tsp lime zest
½ tsp ground cumin
¼ tsp sea salt, or to taste
¼ tsp black pepper
½ cup fresh cilantro, roughly chopped

For serving

1 head butter lettuce, leaves separated and washed
1 medium carrot, julienned or shredded
1 small cucumber, thinly sliced
lime wedges, for serving (optional)

Instructions

1
Heat the olive oil in a large (12-inch) skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
2
Add the scallion greens and grated ginger to the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, until softened and fragrant, about 1–2 minutes.
