Ingredients

• 400 g beef mince
• 500 g sweetheart cabbage
• 1 onion
• 1 tbsp sesame oil
• 1 tsp sweet paprika
• 1 pinch of sea salt
• 1 pinch of black pepper
• 2 tbsp soy sauce

Method

You’ll need: frying pan · wok · chopping board · knife · wooden spoon

1. Prepare the sweetheart cabbage: remove the core and cut into fine strips. Finely dice the onion.
2. Heat the sesame oil in a large frying pan or wok. Fry the beef mince and onion over a high heat until the meat is crumbly and lightly browned.
3. Add the sweet paprika, sea salt and black pepper. Stir briefly so the spices release their aroma.
4. Add the sweetheart cabbage to the pan and stir-fry until it wilts but still has a little bite.
5. Stir in the soy sauce and cook for a little longer until the flavours have come together.
6. Serve hot. Finish with toasted sesame seeds or a little chilli if you like.

Swaps

Sesame oil → olive oil (mainly monounsaturated fatty acids) | Soy sauce → tamari (usually wheat-free, similarly savoury) | Beef mince → turkey mince (similar protein content) | Sweetheart cabbage → savoy cabbage (more structure, also provides fibre)

Allergens

Contains soya and gluten (soy sauce; gluten-free with tamari) and sesame (sesame oil). Season mildly for children, and in pregnancy cook the mince right through.
