Chinese Beef Cabbage Stir Fry

Steps

Get your skillet or wok nice and hot over medium-high heat, then add that sesame oil. You want it hot enough that the oil shimmers but doesn’t smoke.

Add your ground beef and break it apart with a spoon or spatula. Cook for 5-7 minutes until it’s nicely browned all over. Drain off any excess fat – we want this to be healthy!

Toss in your minced garlic and grated ginger. Cook for just about a minute until they smell amazing – don’t let them burn or they’ll taste bitter.

Add the sliced cabbage and carrot strips to the pan. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until the cabbage starts to soften but still has some crunch. We want texture, not mush!

Pour in your soy sauce, rice vinegar, and oyster sauce if you’re using it. Stir everything together so all those flavors get to know each other.

Add your cornstarch slurry and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly. This will thicken the sauce just enough to coat everything beautifully.

Remove from heat and sprinkle those green onions on top for color and freshness. Serve it up over rice if you want, or enjoy it just as it is for a low-carb meal!
