Ingredients
  

For the Protein
  • 1 lb lean ground beef (85/15) Provides protein and flavor; switch to ground chicken, turkey, or pork for variety.
For the Vegetables
  • ½ medium onion, finely diced Adds sweetness and depth; yellow or white onions work great.
  • 1 medium carrot, julienned or coarsely grated Infuses sweetness and crunch; use a pre-packaged coleslaw mix for convenience.
  • 3 cups green cabbage, thinly sliced Forms the bulk of the dish, offering crunch; pre-shredded coleslaw mix can save time.
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced Adds aromatic flavor; fresh garlic brings the best taste.
For the Flavoring
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil Ideal for sautéing and adds healthy fats; swap for avocado oil if desired.
  • 1 tsp ground ginger Brings warmth and spice; fresh ginger elevates the flavor.
  • ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce Provides umami depth; coconut aminos can be a gluten-free alternative.
  • 2 tsp sesame oil Enriches the dish with nutty flavor notes; optional but highly recommended.
  • ½ tsp granulated sugar Balances flavors; feel free to omit for a low-carb variation.
Optional Garnishes
  • 1 Tbsp chopped green onion Adds a fresh finish and color; use as desired for garnish.
  • ¼ tsp sesame seeds Offers a nutty crunch and visual appeal; sprinkle for extra texture.
