Ingredients

Scale

Protein

  • 1 lb ground beef (85/15 lean to fat ratio)
  • 1 whole egg

Vegetables

  • 14 ounces shredded cabbage or coleslaw mix
  • 2 tablespoons sliced green onions

Seasonings and Sauces

  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce or coconut aminos
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 2 teaspoons sriracha
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil

Instructions

  1. Brown the Beef: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook 1 lb ground beef until no longer pink, breaking it apart as it cooks to ensure even browning.
  2. Sauté Garlic: Add 1 teaspoon minced garlic to the browned beef and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
  3. Add Cabbage and Seasonings: Stir in 14 ounces shredded cabbage or coleslaw mix, 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce, and 1 teaspoon ground ginger. Cook while stirring occasionally until the cabbage softens to your desired tenderness. Add a splash of water if more liquid is needed to help soften the cabbage.
  4. Scramble the Egg: Make a well in the center of the skillet and crack in 1 whole egg. Over low heat, scramble the egg until fully cooked, then incorporate it into the beef and cabbage mixture.
  5. Finish with Sauce and Garnish: Stir in 2 teaspoons sriracha for a spicy kick. Drizzle 1 tablespoon sesame oil over the top and sprinkle 2 tablespoons sliced green onions. Taste and add additional soy sauce or sriracha if desired before serving.

Notes

  • This recipe yields 4 servings; divide the pan evenly or weigh and divide by four for accurate portions.
  • Using coconut aminos instead of soy sauce will add a slightly sweet flavor and keep the dish soy-free.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in a skillet or microwave.
  • For a vegetarian version, substitute ground beef with crumbled tofu or tempeh and omit the egg or use a vegan egg alternative.
