Ingredients
  

For the Stir Fry
  • 1 lb Ground Beef Lean ground turkey is a great substitute.
  • 4 cups Cabbage Substitute with kale or bok choy for a twist.
  • 8 oz Shiitake Mushrooms Use button mushrooms if unavailable.
  • 4 stalks Green Onions Regular onions can be used instead.
For the Sauce
  • 2 tbsp Soy Sauce Tamari is a gluten-free alternative.
  • 1 tbsp Sesame Oil Vegetable oil works for allergy concerns.
Aromatics
  • 3 cloves Garlic Fresh garlic is preferred, but garlic powder can substitute.
  • 1 tbsp Ginger Ground ginger can replace fresh ginger if needed.

Equipment

  • large pan or wok

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by finely chopping your cabbage, shiitake mushrooms, garlic, ginger, and green onions.
  2. In a large pan or wok, pour in a couple of tablespoons of sesame oil and heat over medium-high until it shimmers.
  3. Add the ground beef to the hot oil, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned and fully cooked through.
  4. Stir in the minced garlic and ginger. Cook for an additional 1–2 minutes.
  5. Toss in the chopped shiitake mushrooms and cabbage. Sauté until the cabbage is tender-crisp.
  6. Drizzle in the soy sauce, stirring thoroughly to coat all the ingredients. Allow to simmer for another minute.
  7. Remove the pan from heat and transfer your stir fry to serving plates, garnished with sliced green onions.
