Here’s what you need…

  • 1 Tablespoon arrowroot starch

  • 3 Tablespoons water

  • 1 Tablespoon coconut oil

  • 6 scallions, trimmed and thinly sliced, greens and whites separated

  • 2 Tablespoons fresh ginger, minced

  • 1 Tablespoon fresh garlic, minced

  • 1 lb ground chicken

  • ½ cup bean sprouts, roughly chopped

  • 10 drops liquid stevia

  • 2 Tablespoons coconut aminos

  • 1 teaspoon Sriracha (more as desired)

Instructions:

  1. In a small bowl combine the arrowroot starch and water. Set aside.
