Clear Out The Fridge Beef Chop Suey

A great way to use that lonely carrot or abandoned celery stalk left in your vegetable crisper. Make this very customizable recipe your own with what's in your fridge. Of course, bean sprouts are a must but you can use mushrooms, snow peas, broccoli, whatever is left behind in that drawer in your fridge!   

Ingredients:

1/2 lb ground beef

1/2 onion, diced

1 or 2 celery stalks, sliced

1 carrot, julienned

1/2 bell pepper, diced

1 tsp minced ginger

2 tsps minced garlic

2 cups shredded cabbage or bagged coleslaw

2 cups bean sprouts

a handful of chopped spinach

salt and pepper

1/2 cup beef broth

1/4 cup soya sauce

1 1/2 tbsps cornstarch

sliced green onion to garnish

In a wok or large skillet, brown the beef on medium high heat until no pink remains. Add some salt and pepper along with the onion, celery, carrot and bell  pepper. Stir fry 4-5 minutes.

Then add the ginger, garlic, cabbage, bean sprouts and spinach and cook for 2-3 minutes.

Combine the beef broth, soya sauce and cornstarch. Make a well in the center of the pan, pour the sauce in and whisk then stir together. Cook on medium heat until slightly thickened.

Give it a little taste to see if you want more salt, pepper or soya sauce.

Serves 2-3
