Ingredients

  • 85/15 ground beef 1 lb $8.49
  • Organic green cabbage 1/2 small head, thinly sliced $1.99
  • White mushrooms 8 oz, sliced $2.49
  • Green onion 3 stalks, sliced $1.29
  • Yellow onion 1/2 medium, thinly sliced $1.49
  • Organic ginger puree 1 tablespoon $3.99
  • Lime 1 $0.69
  • Soy sauce 3 tablespoons pantry
  • Brown sugar or honey 1 teaspoon pantry
  • Neutral oil 1 tablespoon pantry
  • Dried noodles or spaghetti 6 oz pantry

Instructions

  1. Prep all ingredients first. Thinly slice 1/2 small head Organic Green Cabbage ($1.99), slice 8 oz White Mushrooms ($2.49), thinly slice 1/2 medium Yellow Onion ($1.49), and slice 3 stalks Green Onion ($1.29). Measure 1 tablespoon Organic Ginger Puree ($3.99), 3 tablespoons soy sauce, and 1 teaspoon brown sugar or honey. Cook 6 oz dried noodles or spaghetti in salted water until just tender, then drain.
  2. Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat with 1 tablespoon neutral oil. Add 1 lb 85/15 Ground Beef ($8.49) and cook, breaking it up, until browned and slightly crisp in spots, about 6 to 8 minutes. Season lightly with black pepper.
  3. Add the 1/2 sliced yellow onion, the 8 oz sliced mushrooms, and the 1 tablespoon ginger puree to the beef. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until the mushrooms shrink and the onion softens.
  4. Add the sliced 1/2 head cabbage and stir-fry for 3 to 5 minutes until wilted but still a little crisp. Stir in 3 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 teaspoon brown sugar or honey, and the juice of 1 Lime ($0.69).
  5. Add the cooked 6 oz noodles to the skillet and toss well so the noodles absorb the sauce. If it looks dry, add 2 to 3 tablespoons water to loosen it.
  6. Finish with the sliced green onion and serve hot. For extra brightness, offer additional lime wedges at the table.

Cook time: 30 minutes

Estimated cost: $14-18

Health notes: Approx. 560-680 calories per serving depending on noodle quantity. Good protein, plenty of vegetables, and easy to lighten by using less noodle and extra cabbage. Ginger, cabbage, and mushrooms add lots of flavor without heavy sauces.

Drink pairing: Reach for a fruit-forward Pinot Noir if you want red, or a dry Riesling if you want something refreshing that can handle ginger and soy.
