Chinese Cabbage and Ground Beef Stir Fry Directions:
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
Add the 96% lean ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.
Add the chopped onion, garlic, and fresh ginger to the skillet and sauté until the onion softens and becomes translucent.
Stir in the sliced Chinese cabbage and grated carrots if using. Cook for about 5 minutes, until the cabbage begins to soften but still has some crisp texture.
Add the low-sodium soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, and red pepper flakes if using. Stir well so the beef and cabbage are evenly coated.
Season with salt and pepper to taste, keeping in mind that soy sauce already adds saltiness.
Cook for another 3–4 minutes, until the cabbage is tender-crisp and the mixture is savory and glossy.
Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions before serving.
Serve as is for a low-point bowl, or spoon over cauliflower rice for a more filling zero-point style meal.
