Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Oils

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

Vegetables

  • ½ medium onion, finely diced
  • 1 medium carrot, julienned or coarsely grated
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3 cups green cabbage, thinly sliced
  • 1 Tbsp chopped green onion (optional, for garnish)

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
  • ½ tsp granulated sugar
  • ¼ tsp sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Brown the beef: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook for about 5 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned and no longer pink. Season with sea salt and black pepper to taste.
  2. Sauté the aromatics: Stir in the finely diced onion and julienned or grated carrot. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion softens and the vegetables are tender.
  3. Add garlic: Add the minced garlic and sauté for another 30 seconds, stirring constantly to prevent burning and release its fragrant aroma.
  4. Cook the cabbage: Add the thinly sliced cabbage, ground ginger, low-sodium soy sauce, sesame oil, and granulated sugar. Stir to combine and continue cooking for 5 to 7 minutes until the cabbage is tender and slightly wilted but still vibrant.
  5. Finish and garnish: Remove the skillet from heat. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds if desired. Serve the dish warm for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use lean ground beef (85/15) to reduce excess fat and keep the dish healthy.
  • For a vegetarian version, substitute ground beef with crumbled firm tofu or tempeh.
  • Adjust soy sauce amount based on salt preference; low-sodium soy sauce is recommended.
  • This recipe is gluten-free when using gluten-free soy sauce.
  • Leftovers keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat nicely in a skillet.
  • Optional garnishes like green onions and sesame seeds add texture and flavor complexity.
  • Adding a splash of rice vinegar or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes can enhance flavor if desired.
