STIR FRY
Fry your ground beef mince first until nicely browned and crispy. Once it’s browned with your onion, garlic and ginger, add half of your prepared stir fry sauce to flavour your beef first.
Once your cabbage and carrots have been added and are softened, add the remaining sauce, stir frying to coat everything together in all of those flavours.
The water released from the cabbage will mix through it all, creating an abundance of crazy good sauce!

This was fantastic, amazing flavors! At the end I added one pack of cooked ramen noodles (minus the seasoning pack) and some red pepper flakes. Definite keeper!
Nina says
We all loved it! I didn’t have hoisin sauce so I used 1 tbs of natural peanut butter with 1tbs of teriyaki sauce. I’d don’t chance anything else and it was hard to stop eating it. My kids absolutely loved it. This recipe is a keeper!! Thanks for sharing.
Marie says
Such a good base recipe! So easy to add broccoli, snow peas, water chestnuts, serve over rice or not, substitute chicken. Basically endless possibilities!!
Christianne says
Really good! I highly recommend adding the optional add-ins mentioned (I added all three – chili powder, red pepper flakes, and sriracha) if you like a kick. I only had a napa cabbage on hand and that worked just fine. I didn’t have any carrots but the recipe was delicious without it.
Katie says
I originally made this because I had cabbage I needed to use and some ground beef that I needed to use. I am a chef didn’t think much of it just didn’t wanna waste food.
This is my new favourite food! It is so delicious.

Aline Riquelme says
It’s very easy to cook and delicious !! I didn’t find hoisin sauce here in São Paulo yet, so I replaced with yakissoba sauce instead. I’ll try to do it with chicken !
Jennifer T says
Great recipe! I had never considered using ground beef in stir fry, so I was a bit skeptical, but I loved the value of using it. My family glad I did. Even my 20 yr. son who is in culinary school thought the flavor was perfect. We added a bit of siracha to spice it up when we served it, but that is just our personal pretense. The cabbage made a great base.
Jeff Glenn says
OMG, this is SO good!

I am trying not to eat the whole batch. Definitely a “keeper” recipe!
Thanks so much!
