Making low carb simple
Instructions
- Shred the cabbage finely using a sharp knife or a food processor.
- Fry the cabbage in half of the butter in a large frying or wok pan on medium-high heat. It takes a while for the cabbage to soften, but don't let it turn brown.
- Add spices and vinegar. Stir and fry for a couple of minutes more. Put the cabbage in a bowl.
- Melt the rest of the butter in the same frying pan. Add garlic, chili flakes and ginger. Sauté for a few minutes.
- Add ground meat and brown until the meat is thoroughly cooked and most of the juices have evaporated. Lower the heat a little.
- Add scallions and cabbage to the meat. Stir until everything is hot. Salt and pepper to taste. Drizzle with sesame oil before serving.
- Mix together the wasabi mayonnaise by starting with a small amount of wasabi and adding more until the flavor is just right. Serve the stir-fry warm with a dollop of wasabi mayonnaise on top.
Substituting ingredients
Want variety? You can replace the beef with other kinds of protein like ground chicken, pork or lamb. If you have other sorts of cabbage like red cabbage or savoy cabbage, they will work just as fine.
If you don't like mayonnaise you can substitute that for crème fraîche, sour cream, or even cream cheese.
Storing and reheating
This dish keeps in the fridge for at least 3-4 days. You can also store it in the freezer for up to 4 months.
Thawing and reheating can make the cabbage release its liquids so the dish may be a bit more watery compared to freshly cooked. This does not affect the flavor of the dish.

Does this look/feel right to you? My calorie intake on this meal alone was about 85% of my allotted total. I want to still stay within a good calorie range while doing these recipes. I’m guessing net carb was 5.6 which if correct fits the Keto theme. I’m just concerned about these other numbers. Perhaps my Fitness Pal input skills aren’t accurate? Any guidance is much appreciated to ensure I lose and don’t gain!
and did not have scallion so I used finely chopped onion and rice vinegar for the white wine; only used 1 tsp because it is rice vinegar. and I did substitute sour cream for the mayonnaise; it was incredible thank you.
I also subbed in Sambal paste for the chili flakes - way more flavor.
Quick easy, simple ingredients and very tasty especially with the wasabi mayo. Crack slaw indeed!
Very exciting
1. Skip the mayo/wasabi. Too many calories in the mayo and wasabi can be replaced with much cheaper horseradish. Next time I'll mix yogurt and horseradish.
2. The sesame oil is dripped on the dish - unless you use sesame oil for other things, skip it.
3. White wine vinegar: if you don't have it, just use red - you won't notice any difference.
4. How fine do you have to cut the cabbage? Not much. I just chopped it into chunks like I was making soup - random sizes. No fine cut for sure and it cooked easily.
5. Don't worry about 1 2/3 lb cabbage or 1 1/3 lb beef. It won't matter. Use a small head of cabbage. And 1.5 lb beef won't hurt.
This needs more depth in the flavor; I'm going to add bouillon paste and see if it helps.
Also on the two week challenge, can you mix and match different dinners on different days or would you exceed the carb daily max? Seems like you can, right?
Select Saute (normal)
When indicator says Hot add butter (waiting for hot keeps sticking down)
When melted, swish around and add meat
When browned, add garlic, ginger, scallions and saute stirring for another minute
Add dry spices and stir
Add vinegar and cabbage
Turn off Saute, select Manual (high pressure) and 5 minutes
Quick release
Add sesame oil
Stir and serve
This is incredibly easy and very tasty. I used 80% lean beef to get some fat. Not sure that anything leaner would have enough liquid for it to come to pressure.
