Protein
- 7 ounces ground beef
Condiments
- 3 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce*
- 1/2 teaspoon Chinese rice wine or dry sherry
- 1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
Vegetables
- 1/2 small onion, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 2 1/2 cups finely sliced napa or green cabbage
- 2 cups finely sliced baby bok choy
- 1/2 cup shredded carrots
- 2 1/2 ounces sliced shiitake mushrooms
- 1 medium scallion, sliced
Instructions
- Prepare the skillet: Set a large nonstick skillet or wok over medium-high heat and allow it to heat thoroughly before adding ingredients.
- Cook the beef: Add the ground beef and 1 tablespoon of soy sauce to the skillet. Cook, breaking the meat into small pieces with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 3 minutes.
- Sauté aromatics: Stir in the chopped onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Continue cooking for about 2 to 3 minutes until the vegetables soften and become fragrant.
- Add vegetables: Incorporate the cabbage, bok choy, carrots, and mushrooms into the skillet. Mix well to combine and stir frequently.
- Add seasonings: Pour in the remaining 2 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce, Chinese rice wine or sherry, and toasted sesame oil. Stir to evenly coat the vegetables and beef.
- Finish cooking: Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are wilted but still retain some crunch, about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with sliced scallions. Serve hot immediately.
Notes
- For a soy-free option, substitute soy sauce with coconut aminos.
- This recipe can be easily doubled for more servings.
- Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or water chestnuts for variation.
- Use ground turkey or chicken as a leaner alternative to beef.
