Why it's delicious

There is something about a hot pan and the simple addition of a few ingredients that make not only a quick lunch or dinner but a wonderfully satisfying one. 

You can use beef or chicken mince in this stir fry, and it doesn't require a lot of your time, especially if you already have a jar of my Sticky sauce in the fridge ready to go! 

This recipe requires Bridget's Sticky Sauce, a healthy cooking sauce I use in many of my recipes. It's simple, healthy and packs a lot of flavour without adding unnecessary calories. If you need the recipe, you can get it here.

Before you start, you’ll also need to prepare my Kombu Water. Kombu water is my healthy broth alternative and one of my favourite foundation recipes. If you need the recipe, you can find it here.

Ingredients 

• 100 g (3.5 oz) chicken or beef mince (ground)
• 2 tbsp Bridget's Sticky Sauce
• 1 tsp freshly minced garlic
• 1 tsp cumin powder
• 1 tsp coriander powder 
• 4 tbsp Kombu Water
• 200 g (7 oz) Chinese or white cabbage, finely shredded
• Himalayan salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 3 tbsp chopped coriander or parsley, including stalks

Method

1. Heat a large frying pan on medium to high heat and add the tamari and ground meat. Stir to break up the meat, and add the garlic and spices. Cook for a couple of minutes, stirring occasionally and then add 1 tablespoon of sticky sauce and the water. Cook until the liquid reduces by half, which will take about 2 minutes. 
2. Add the cabbage, stir through the mince, and cook for a couple of minutes until the cabbage is soft but still has some texture. Add the remaining tablespoon of sticky sauce, stir through and taste for flavour, adding salt and pepper to your preference.
3. Stir through the chopped herbs and serve immediately.
