Description
A quick and flavorful one-pan Chinese stir-fry featuring ground beef, cabbage, and optional shiitake mushrooms in a savory, umami-rich sauce.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 4 cups green cabbage, sliced
- 1 cup shiitake mushrooms (optional), sliced
- 2–3 Tbsp oil (vegetable or sesame)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 Tbsp fresh ginger, grated
- 3 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 Tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp sugar
- ½ tsp chili flakes (optional)
- Green onions, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Heat oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add garlic and ginger; sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up into small pieces.
- Stir in cabbage (and mushrooms if using); cook until cabbage begins to soften, about 5–7 minutes.
- Pour in soy sauce, oyster sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, and chili flakes. Stir-fry until everything is coated and the cabbage is tender-crisp.
- Taste and adjust seasoning. Garnish with green onions before serving.
Notes
- Substitute ground turkey for beef if preferred.
- Add extra vegetables like bell pepper, carrot, or bok choy.
- Use tamari or coconut aminos for a gluten-free version.
- Cook on medium-high heat to prevent soggy cabbage.
- Prep vegetables ahead for quicker cooking.
