# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 - Preheat oven to 375°F. 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.
02 - Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, tossing halfway through, until golden and crisp. Set aside to cool.
03 - In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon neutral oil over medium-high heat. Add ground chicken and cook, stirring and breaking up meat, until browned and cooked through, approximately 5 to 6 minutes.
04 - Add minced garlic, grated ginger, and black pepper to the cooked chicken. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
05 - Stir in sliced cabbage, shredded carrots, and red bell pepper. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring often, until vegetables are tender-crisp.
06 - Add soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Stir well to combine. Add most of the sliced green onions, reserving some for garnish. Cook for 1 additional minute, then remove from heat.
07 - Divide warm rice among serving bowls. Top with chicken and vegetable mixture. Sprinkle with baked wonton strips, remaining green onions, sesame seeds, and chili sauce if desired.
