This is an easy AND quick meal to prepare for Dinner or for meal prepping lunches. I came up with this meal for my husband, Gerald. I cook and meal prep him Lunches for work and this is an easy recipe to make!
Your local supermarket has a huge selection of sauces and I tried the Panda Express Orange Sauce and my family LOVES it! It’s sweet and yummy flavor makes this cabbage stir fry delicious!
Many times I have made this recipe with chicken instead of ground beef and it is really delicious.
Can I use a different meat than ground beef?
Yes, most definitely you can use a different meat, here are some ideas:
- chicken – frozen grilled chicken, canned chicken breast or a rotisserie chicken make this recipe easy
- smoked sausage is always delicious in this recipe
- Spam is another meat that my family enjoys in this stir fry
The possibilities are endless with meats and veggies.
Can I add vegetables to my stir fry?
Yes! You can add any vegetables to your stir fry. I like to add frozen broccoli and sometimes diced up sweet potatoes! Yummo!
