Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 1 package Beef-less Ground Crumble tempeh or lentils for a twist

For the Aromatics

  • 2 tablespoons Sesame Oil Can replace with olive oil

Equipment

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the vegetables by washing, dicing the cabbage, shredding the carrots, and chopping the green onions. Slice the water chestnuts thinly. This prep should take about 5 minutes.
  2. In a large non-stick skillet, heat a splash of oil over medium heat. Cook the beef-less ground for 5–7 minutes, breaking it apart until it browns slightly.
  3. Add minced garlic and ginger to the skillet, stir for about 1 minute until garlic turns light golden and fragrant.
  4. Incorporate cabbage, carrots, and water chestnuts. Stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until cabbage wilts but retains crunch.
  5. Remove from heat, stir in green onions and add sauce. Season with salt and pepper and mix thoroughly.
  6. Serve immediately for best flavor and texture, optionally over jasmine rice or cauliflower rice.
