Prepare the Beef:

Prepare the Vegetables:

  • Shred the cabbage finely, slice the mushrooms, julienne the carrots, and chop the green onions. Drain and rinse bamboo shoots if using.

  • Pour the prepared sauce over the ingredients and stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the mixture.
