Low-Carb Chinese Cabbage & Ground Beef Stir Fry
This quick, one-pan stir fry is packed with bold umami flavor and comes together with very little effort. Browning the ground beef first builds a rich, savory base that pairs perfectly with the mild sweetness of Chinese (Napa) cabbage. Fresh ginger, garlic, and a drizzle of sesame oil add depth and aroma without relying on heavy or sugary sauces, making this a simple yet satisfying low-carb meal.
