Ingredients

Scale

Protein

  • 1 pound ground beef

Vegetables

  • 4 cups green cabbage, sliced
  • 1 cup shiitake mushrooms, sliced (or any preferred mushrooms)
  • 4 green onions, chopped (plus additional for garnish)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 inch ginger, minced

Sauces & Oils

  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (for cooking)

Seasonings

  • Salt and pepper to taste

Serving

  • Cooked rice (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Heat the Oil: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  2. Sauté Aromatics: Add the minced garlic and ginger to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn them.
  3. Brown the Ground Beef: Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula or wooden spoon. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is fully browned and cooked through.
  4. Cook Mushrooms: Stir in the sliced shiitake mushrooms and continue cooking for another 3 to 4 minutes until they are softened and have released their moisture.
  5. Add Cabbage: Add the sliced green cabbage to the skillet and stir frequently. Cook for about 5 to 7 minutes until the cabbage wilts and softens but still retains some crunch.
  6. Season the Stir Fry: Pour in the soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), and sesame oil. Stir well to evenly coat all ingredients. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  7. Finish with Green Onions: Remove the skillet from heat and toss in the chopped green onions, saving some for garnish.
  8. Serve: Serve the stir fry hot over steamed cooked rice. Garnish with the remaining green onions for a fresh touch.

Notes

  • You can substitute ground beef with ground turkey or pork for a leaner or different flavor option.
  • Use fresh shiitake mushrooms or any mushrooms you prefer, such as cremini or button mushrooms.
  • Oyster sauce is optional but adds a rich umami flavor.
  • Adjust soy sauce quantity to taste, especially if using low-sodium soy sauce.
  • For a spicier kick, add red pepper flakes or a dash of chili oil while cooking.
  • Leftovers can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Serve with steamed jasmine or basmati rice for best results.
