Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced, or more to taste
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • ½ head white cabbage, shredded
  • ½ head red cabbage, shredded
  • 2 large carrots, peeled and cut into thin strips
  • 1 red bell pepper, cut into very thin strips
  • ½ cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 1 dash hot sauce, or to taste
  • Salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro, or to taste
  • 1 lime wedge

Instructions
 

  • Heat the canola oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the garlic and ginger, stirring constantly for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  • Add the ground beef and cook, stirring and breaking it apart, for 5-7 minutes until browned and no longer pink.
  • Toss in the white and red cabbage, carrots, and red bell pepper. Stir everything together and cook for 5-6 minutes until the vegetables are just tender but still crisp.
  • Pour in the soy sauce, sesame oil, and a dash of hot sauce. Stir well to combine and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  • Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro and a lime wedge. Add extra hot sauce for a spicier kick!

Notes

For a vegan version, use crumbled tofu or tempeh instead of ground beef and a plant-based soy sauce alternative.
