Preparation Steps
  1. Marinate Chicken: Mix teriyaki sauce, half the sesame oil, soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger in a bowl. Add sliced chicken, coating well. Marinate for 10 minutes.
  2. Cook Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium heat, add marinated chicken in a single layer. Cook for 5-7 minutes until chicken is no longer pink.
  3. Prepare Slaw: In a separate bowl, combine coleslaw mix, green onions, rice vinegar, honey, and remaining sesame oil. Toss until well-coated.
  4. Fry Wontons: Heat oil in a small pan over medium-high heat. Fry wonton wrappers for 20-30 seconds on each side until crispy.
  5. Assemble Tacos: Fill each wonton with chicken and slaw. Drizzle with sweet chili sauce, and garnish with sesame seeds and cilantro.
