Cook the Beef

Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain excess fat if needed.

Add garlic and ginger. Cook 30 seconds until fragrant.

Cook jasmine rice according to package directions.
For a lower-carb option, sauté cauliflower rice in a skillet 5–6 minutes until tender.

3. Make Slaw

Mix cabbage, carrots, bell pepper, rice vinegar, and salt. Toss and set aside.

4. Make Yum Yum Sauce

Whisk all sauce ingredients together until smooth. Adjust thickness with water.
