Ingredients
Scale
Meat
- 1 lb ground beef
Vegetables
- 4 cups shredded cabbage
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Sauce
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
Instructions
- Brown the beef: Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until it is fully browned and no pink remains, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat if needed.
- Stir-fry with cabbage and sauce: Add the minced garlic to the browned beef and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Then add the shredded cabbage and soy sauce. Stir-fry all together for 5-7 minutes until the cabbage softens but still retains a slight crunch. Mix well so the sauce coats all ingredients evenly.
Notes
- You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
- For a spicier dish, add sliced chili peppers or a dash of chili flakes.
- Serve over steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
- Adjust soy sauce to taste based on your sodium preference.
