Ingredients
- 4 cups green cabbage chopped
- 1 medium onion chopped
- 1 pound ground beef extra lean
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger grated
- 3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 3 heaping tablespoons peanut butter creamy
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1/2 tablespoon Sriracha sauce or more to taste
Instructions
- Chop the cabbage and onion.
- Add the ground beef to a skillet over medium-high heat, and cook it, breaking it up with your spoon as you go along, until it's just browned (about 5-6 minutes). I don't drain the little bit of fat released, but if you use fattier ground beef, you may want to spoon some of it out.
- Stir in the garlic & ginger and cook for about 30 seconds.
- Add in the cabbage and onion and continue sautéing, stirring occasionally, for another 8-10 minutes or until the cabbage is softened to your liking and the onions are cooked.
- Take the skillet off the heat and stir in the hoisin sauce, peanut butter, soy sauce, and sriracha sauce (feel free to taste it then add more of any ingredient you choose if needed). Serve immediately (I like to serve it over rice). I garnished with scallions mostly to add some color to the photos... that's totally optional!
Cup of Yum
Notes
- Use low-sodium soy sauce if sensitive to salt.
- If the sauce looks too thick, simply thin it out with a tablespoon or so of water.
- This dish isn't spicy, but feel free to leave out the sriracha if it's not your thing.
