Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb lean ground beef (85/15)
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp fine sea salt (or to taste)
  • 1/4 tsp pepper (or to taste)
  • 1/2 onion, finely diced
  • 1 carrot, julienned or coarsely grated
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3 cups cabbage, thinly sliced
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tsp sesame oil
  • 1/2 tsp granulated sugar

Optional Garnishes

  • 1 Tbsp chopped green onion
  • 1/4 tsp sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Brown the Ground Beef: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the ground beef and cook until browned and no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Break up the meat with a spatula as it cooks. Season with sea salt and pepper.
  2. Cook Vegetables: Add the finely diced onion and julienned or grated carrot to the skillet. Sauté until the onion becomes tender, about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
  3. Combine Remaining Ingredients: Stir in the thinly sliced cabbage, ground ginger, low sodium soy sauce, sesame oil, and granulated sugar. Continue to sauté for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender and flavors have melded together.
  4. Serve: Remove from heat and serve the egg roll mixture garnished with chopped green onions and sesame seeds if desired.

Notes

  • Use lean ground beef for less fat and a healthier meal.
  • You can substitute ground turkey or chicken if preferred.
  • For a vegetarian version, replace ground meat with crumbled tofu or tempeh.
  • Adjust soy sauce quantity to taste and consider gluten-free tamari if avoiding gluten.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated on the stovetop or microwave.
  • For added crunch, sprinkle with water chestnuts or chopped nuts before serving.
