Ingredients

Scale

Meat & Oil

  • 1 lb lean ground beef (85/15)
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil

Vegetables

  • ½ medium onion, finely diced
  • 1 medium carrot, julienned or coarsely grated
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3 cups green cabbage, thinly sliced

Seasonings & Sauces

  • ½ tsp fine sea salt, or to taste
  • ¼ tsp black pepper, or to taste
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tsp sesame oil
  • ½ tsp granulated sugar

Garnish (Optional)

  • 1 Tbsp chopped green onion
  • ¼ tsp sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Brown the beef: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook for about 5 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula until browned and no longer pink. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  2. Cook the onion and carrot: Stir in the diced onion and grated carrot. Continue cooking for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft and vegetables slightly tender.
  3. Add garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds while stirring constantly to release the flavors.
  4. Sauté the cabbage mixture: Add the thinly sliced cabbage, ground ginger, low-sodium soy sauce, sesame oil, and granulated sugar to the skillet. Sauté for 5–7 minutes or until the cabbage is tender and slightly wilted, stirring occasionally to combine all ingredients well.
  5. Garnish and serve: Remove from heat and, if desired, garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Serve warm as a delicious low-carb main dish.

Notes

  • Use lean ground beef for a healthier version, or substitute with ground turkey or chicken.
  • For a vegetarian version, replace beef with crumbled firm tofu or tempeh.
  • Adjust salt and soy sauce levels to your taste or dietary needs, especially if watching sodium intake.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms for variety.
  • This dish reheats well and can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
