Ingredients
Scale
1 pound ground beef
4 cups green cabbage, thinly sliced
1 medium onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
2 tablespoons brown sugar substitute (like erythritol)
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent.
Stir in the soy sauce, brown sugar substitute, sesame oil, ground ginger, and red pepper flakes (if using). Mix well to combine.
Add the sliced cabbage to the skillet. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender but still slightly crisp.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions before serving.
Notes
For added crunch, consider topping the dish with chopped peanuts or sesame seeds before serving.
Substitute ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option, or add other vegetables like bell peppers or carrots for extra flavor and nutrition.
