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

Method
 

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, sriracha, and brown sugar. Set aside.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Add the shredded cabbage and carrots to the skillet. Stir and cook until the cabbage is slightly wilted, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Pour the prepared stir fry sauce into the skillet and stir in the green onions. Cook for another 2 minutes, then remove from heat.
  6. Garnish with sesame seeds and extra sriracha if desired. Serve hot.
