Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Oil

  • 1 lb lean ground beef (85/15)
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil

Vegetables

  • ½ medium onion, finely diced
  • 1 medium carrot, julienned or coarsely grated
  • 3 cups green cabbage, thinly sliced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced

Seasonings and Sauces

  • ½ tsp fine sea salt, or to taste
  • ¼ tsp black pepper, or to taste
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tsp sesame oil
  • ½ tsp granulated sugar

Optional Garnishes

  • 1 Tbsp chopped green onion
  • ¼ tsp sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Brown the Ground Beef: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook for about 5 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned and no longer pink. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  2. Cook Onion and Carrot: Stir in the finely diced onion and julienned or grated carrot. Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion becomes soft and translucent.
  3. Sauté Garlic: Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, stirring constantly to prevent burning and to release its aroma.
  4. Add Cabbage and Seasonings: Add the thinly sliced cabbage, ground ginger, low-sodium soy sauce, sesame oil, and granulated sugar. Continue to sauté the mixture for 5–7 minutes until the cabbage is tender and slightly wilted.
  5. Serve and Garnish: Remove the skillet from heat. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds if desired. Serve warm for a delicious, flavorful meal.

Notes

  • Use a lean ground meat alternative like turkey or chicken if preferred.
  • The sugar balances the saltiness of soy sauce; adjust to taste or use a sugar substitute for a lower sugar version.
  • For gluten-free, use tamari or gluten-free soy sauce.
  • This recipe can be doubled easily for meal prep or larger families.
  • Optional garnishes add crunch and a nutty flavor but can be omitted.
