Stir Fried Cabbage with Ground Beef or Turkey

By moninikole

Ingredients

• 1 pound of ground beef (can substitute turkey)
• 2 tablespoons of sesame oil, divided
• 3 green onions, sliced
• 3 cloves of garlic, minced
• 2 cups of cabbage, sliced thin
• 1 cup of cooked rice (brown or white), optional
• 2 tablespoons of low sodium soy sauce
• Pinch of kosher salt, or to taste
• 8 turns of the pepper grinder, or to taste
• Crushed red pepper flakes, to taste

Preparation

Step 1

Brown ground beef, remove and drain; set aside. To the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of the sesame oil and heat over medium high. Add green onion and garlic and stir fry for 2 minutes. Add the cabbage and stir fry another 2 minutes. Add the rice, soy sauce and remaining sesame oil; stir fry for another 2 minutes. Add the cooked ground beef back to the skillet and sprinkle with the red pepper flakes; toss until heated through.

Variation: Substitute a package of cole slaw mix or broccoli slaw for the cabbage.

Low Carb Variation: Make it low carb by eliminating the rice.

Leftovers Utilized: Cooked Rice. Yes - you can freeze it, and I certainly do! Simply drizzle with water, cover and microwave to freshen.
