Ingredients

STIR FRY SAUCE

  • 2 tablespoon soy sauce adds salty umami flavor
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil provides a nutty taste
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha adds spice and heat
  • ½ tablespoon brown sugar balances the heat with sweetness

STIR FRY

  • ½ head green cabbage finely shredded about 4-6 cups
  • 2 carrots peeled and grated about 1 cup
  • 3 green onions sliced
  • ½ tablespoon neutral cooking oil such as vegetable or canola oil
  • ½ lb lean ground beef or any ground meat of choice
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger adds a fragrant warm spice
  • Pinch of salt and pepper to taste

GARNISHES (optional)

  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds for added crunch
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha for extra spice

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, sriracha, and brown sugar. Set aside.
  • Shred the cabbage by cutting it in half, removing the core, and finely slicing one half into thin strips. Shred the carrots using a grater and slice the green onions. Mince the garlic and grate the ginger.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the cooking oil, ground beef, garlic, ginger, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook the beef until browned, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the shredded cabbage and carrots to the skillet. Stir and cook until the cabbage is slightly wilted, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Pour the prepared stir fry sauce into the skillet and stir in the green onions. Cook for another 2 minutes, then remove from heat.
  • Garnish with sesame seeds and extra sriracha if desired. Serve hot.
