# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Chop the cabbage into thin strips and dice your onion, garlic and ginger. Mix up your wet stuff - combine the soy sauce, oyster sauce if you're using it, sesame oil, vinegar, and your sweetener in a small dish.
02 -
Pour 1 tbsp oil in a big pan and turn heat to medium-high. Throw in your beef and cook until it's no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Shake in some salt and pepper. Toss in your diced onion, garlic and ginger and let it all cook together for 2-3 more minutes until it smells amazing.
03 -
Dump your cabbage into the pan with the meat. Stir it all up and let it cook for 5-7 minutes until the cabbage gets soft but still has a bit of crunch. Pour your sauce mix over everything and toss until it's all coated. Sprinkle in red pepper if you want heat, and cook another 2-3 minutes.
04 -
Give it a taste and add more salt or pepper if needed. Sprinkle green onions or cilantro on top if you want. You can eat it by itself or put it on jasmine rice or cauliflower rice to make it a full meal.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
Try ground turkey or chicken instead of beef if you want something lighter.
02 -
Skip the sweet stuff and pair with cauliflower rice if you're doing keto.
03 -
You can keep any extra food in a sealed container in your fridge for up to 3 days.
