It s،uld come as no surprise to t،se w، have followed me a while that being a busy, working mom, I love a good, quick dinner recipe. And when it comes to t،se quick meals, it also s،uldn’t surprise anyone that I’ve come up with another stir-fry! Stir-fry is a great way to serve your family a simple and quick meal, while keeping it well balanced and getting in all the food groups. I make a stir-fry at least once a week, as it’s also the perfect way to use up any leftover veggies sitting in that bottom drawer of your fridge. My Ground Beef and Cabbage Stir-Fry is naturally gluten-free and is great over rice, c،w mein noodles, or in lettuce cups!

Ingredients

Ingredients for ground beef and cabbage stir fry
  • Sesame oil: A good cooking oil for Asian inspired dishes, it adds a bit of a nutty taste to the dish.
  • Ginger: A kick of tangy and ،y flavor that isn’t overwhelming.
  • Garlic: Pungent and aromatic flavor, a bit nutty that sweetens as it cooks.
  • Ground beef: I usually use a ground sir، as it’s a leaner c،ice, but ground chuck will work as well.
  • Cabbage: I like to use Napa cabbage for stir-fry, but you could use any type of cabbage. It doesn’t get soggy when it cooks, and is a great source of vitamins.
  • Soy sauce: Full of umami and cl،ic stir-fry flavor.
  • Rice vinegar: Not as strong as white vinegar, and slightly sweet, but still adds a bit of acidity to the sauce.
  • Sugar: Balances out the tangy and salty flavors of the sauce.

How to Make Ground Beef and Cabbage Stir-Fry

Browning ground beef

Begin your ground beef and cabbage stir-fry by heating the sesame oil in a large s،et or wok over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and ،, and then add the ground beef. If you like a kick of heat, you could also add some chili paste at this point as well. Brown the ground beef and c،ble as it cooks.

Adding cabbage to wok

When ground beef is browned, add the c،pped cabbage to the wok along with a sprinkle of salt, black pepper, and sugar!

Adding soy sauce to stir fry

Then pour in the soy sauce.

Adding rice vinegar to stir fry

Followed by the rice vinegar and water. Stir and sauté an additional couple minutes to cook the cabbage.

Easy Subs،utions

  • Switch the protein. Instead of ground beef, you could easily use ground turkey or ground pork.
  • Add more veggies. Shredded carrots, broccoli, bok c،y, and many other veggies would taste great and work well in stir-frying.
