I didn’t expect this to be so good. In fact, I tried to find a stir fried cabbage dish and was wary from the start. There’s hardly anything I would change from the original recipe, except using beef strips instead of ground.
Ingredients:
1 pound of ground beef (will use beef strips next time)
2 tablespoons of sesame oil, divided
3 green onions, sliced
3 cloves of garlic, minced
2 cups of cabbage, sliced thin
2 tablespoons of soy sauce
Crushed red pepper flakes, to taste (we used about a tablespoon)
2 cups cooked white rice
Directions:
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 cooked rice and soy sauce and 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.
My opinion:
Surprisingly good. And a great way to use up a head of cabbage.
Simple stir fry recipes like these are always my favorite comfort food.
Agreed! The easier the better in my book!
When do you add the other tablespoon of sesame oil? I am excited to try this!
Melissa, I add it at the end sort of drizzled over! You can also add it if you feel like everything is sticking to the pan. Let me know how it turns out!
