The most time-consuming part of any stir-fry is chopping the ingredients into small, quick-cooking pieces. But in this very savory recipe, using ground meat streamlines the process. The tiny bits of ground chicken are also better at absorbing the seasonings, fully taking on the flavors of garlic, cumin, ginger and soy sauce, all brightened by a dash of rice vinegar.
The ground chicken (or turkey) gives this a subtly meaty flavor, letting the vegetables and aromatics take center stage. But feel free to substitute ground pork, beef or lamb, if you want something richer and brawnier.
