We loved this with our modifications. I added red bell pepper to the veggies. My husband wears dentures so I cooked the vegetables with about 1/2 cup orgainc veg broth, several dashes of olive oil, pepper, dash of salt, and onion powder. All this was cooked with all the other veggie ingredients. I cooked it until the veggies were soft.
We did add soy sauce on top of the food once on our plates. My husband who is a meat and potato eater, said he would eat it again!

How can I make this vegetarian and sesame free as my son has allergies?
DJ Blatner, RDN says
Hi there! Instead of chicken, use chickpeas or edamame! They are both delish in this & give you plant-based protein! And instead of sesame oil/sesame seeds…you can use peanut oil/chopped peanuts (or any other nut oil/chopped nut).
Monica says
How much of the shredded carrots, purple cabbage and coleslaw mix do I use?
DJ Blatner, RDN says
As much as you can! Vegetables will save your life! This makes 4 servings…so MINIMUM of 6 cups, which is 1.5 cups per serving. You’ll love this! Enjoy!!!
