Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
 

  • 1 lb (450g) ground beef
  • 2 minced garlic cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon artificial sweetener
  • 1/2 teaspoon minced fresh ginger or 1/4 teaspoon dried ginger
  • 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 3 sliced green onions (scallions, spring onions)
  • 14 oz (400g) coleslaw mix or shredded cabbage
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon hot sauce (or to taste)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Method
 

  1. Brown the ground beef in a skillet and add salt and pepper.
  2. Take the beef out of the pan and drain off the fat if you want.
  3. Now heat up the sesame oil and add the garlic onions and coleslaw mix or cabbage until the cabbage is tender.
  4. Stir in the soy sauce, hot sauce, sweetener, ginger, and vinegar.
  5. Add the beef back in and mix well.
  6. Serve with hot sauce on the table for those who like it spicy to spice theirs up a little more.

Notes

  • I often make double then splash some soy sauce and hot sauce over a portion the following day, to add moisture, and zap it for 90 seconds in the microwave. It tastes just as good as the day before.
  • You can add other ingredients if you want such as sliced mushrooms or chopped bell pepper.
