This quick Chinese ground beef and cabbage stir fry makes a vibrant, satisfying dinner in just 25 minutes. Lean ground beef browns with fresh garlic and ginger for a fragrant base, then gets tossed with tender green cabbage and slivers of carrot. A light sauce of soy, rice vinegar, and optional oyster sauce thickens just enough to coat every bite. A sprinkle of crushed red pepper adds gentle heat while green onions finish the dish with freshness. Serve it solo or with steamed rice for added comfort and heartiness.
