Here’s a healthy recipe for Chinese Ground Beef & Cabbage Stir Fry Stack that is both nutritious and delicious!

Ingredients:

• 1 lb (450 g) ground beef (preferably lean)
• 4 cups green cabbage, shredded
• 1 cup carrots, julienned or shredded
• 1 bell pepper, sliced (any color)
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce (low-sodium if preferred)
• 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional)
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (for cooking)
• 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Green onions, chopped (for garnish)
• Sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:

   • Wash and chop all vegetables. Have them ready to go, as stir-frying is a quick process.

2. Cook the Ground Beef:

   • In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula. Drain any excess fat if necessary.

3. Add Aromatics:

   • Add the minced garlic and ginger to the skillet with the ground beef. Stir-fry for about 1 minute until fragrant.

4. Add Vegetables:

   • Add the shredded cabbage, carrots, and bell pepper to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.

5. Season the Stir Fry:

   • Pour in the soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), sesame oil, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

6. Serve:

   • To create a “stack,” you can layer the stir-fry mixture on a plate or in a bowl. Start with a base of the stir-fried cabbage and beef mixture, and then add more on top to create a stack effect.
   • Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
