Preparation
Chef’s notes
Use a different protein:
Chicken, pork, shrimp, or tofu would all be delicious replacements for the beef.
Use different veggies:
Just about any stir-fry-friendly veggies would be a delicious addition (or substitution for the cabbage) in this recipe.
Use fresh ginger:
Feel free to sub in about 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger in place of the ground ginger if you would like.
Make it spicier:
Feel free to add in extra chili garlic sauce for more heat.
Make it milder:
Just nix the chili garlic sauce altogether.
