Egg Roll Stir Fry

Wow, is this delicious!  Simple to prepare even on a busy school night.  This is a favorite meal in our house.  I love the flavors that come together in this dish, especially sesame oil which is a key ingredient.  It is a little expensive (I paid around $5 for mine) but worth every delicious penny.  Wait a minute...a penny isn't delicious, but sesame oil is.  You get the point.  Enjoy!  

Egg Roll Stir Fry

Ingredients:

1 lb. ground beef, pork or venison

1 onion, diced

1 Tbsp. (or more to taste) sesame oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 tsp. ground ginger or about an inch fresh ginger, minced fine

¼ cup soy sauce

1 head cabbage, finely sliced

3 carrots, shredded*

Salt and freshly ground pepper

Instructions:

1.     Brown ground meat, onion, and sesame oil in a large skillet or wok.

2.     Mix the garlic, ginger, and soy sauce together then add to the skillet.

3.     Next, add the cabbage and cook until the cabbage is tender, stirring   
        occasionally. 

4.     Then add the carrots and cook for a few more minutes. 

5.     Salt and pepper to taste. 

Add any additional flavors or ingredients you like.  My husband likes a little Worcestershire sauce on his.  For a little kick add 1/4 to 1/2 tsp. red pepper flakes.  

*If you have a food processor, it will make shredding carrots super easy.
