Stir-Fried Cabbage with Chili Oil

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef
• 0.5 large green cabbage (chopped)
• 1 red bell pepper (sliced into strips)
• 1 yellow bell pepper (sliced into strips)
• 3 green onions (sliced; half will be used during cooking and the rest for finishing)
• 3 garlic cloves (minced)
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp ground ginger
• 1.5 tsp paprika
• 2 tbsp coconut aminos
• 2 tbsp ponzu sauce
• 2 tbsp chili oil (plus more for finishing)
• salt and black pepper (to taste)
• 1 tbsp sesame seeds (for finishing)

Steps

1. 1

   Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.

2. 2

   Add the ground beef and cook until browned and cooked through.

3. 3

   Season the beef with the garlic powder, onion powder, ground ginger, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

4. 4

   Add the red bell pepper and yellow bell pepper. Cook for 3–4 minutes, until they begin to soften.

5. 5

   Add the chopped green cabbage and cook for 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender but still slightly crisp.

6. 6

   Add the coconut aminos, ponzu sauce, and 2 tbsp of chili oil. Mix all the ingredients well and cook for 2–3 more minutes so they absorb the flavors.

7. 7

   Add half of the sliced green onions and stir to distribute.

8. 8

   Finish with the remaining green onions, sesame seeds, and an additional drizzle of chili oil.

9. 9
