Ingredients

  • 2 ounces wood ear mushroom dried (also known as pepeao)
  • 1/2 teaspoon avocado oil
  • 1/2 yellow onion diced
  • 1 jalapeño minced (remove seeds and membranes to remove the spice), omit for nightshade-free
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 3 tablespoons ginger freshly grated
  • 1 1/2 pounds ground beef lean
  • 1 cup brown mushrooms high in vitamin D, minced
  • 4 cups cabbage shredded
  • 2 cups broccoli slaw
  • 1 medium carrot shredded
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/4 cup low sodium gluten-free soy sauce or 1/3 cup coconut aminos
  • 1/2-1 teaspoon stevia glycerite omit if using coconut aminos
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons yeast extract spread optional but adds umami and nutrition
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • 4 green onions sliced
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds toasted
  • 1/4 cup cilantro for garnish
  • 4 cups butter lettuce

Instructions

  • Cover the dehydrated mushrooms with boiling water and set aside for 10 minutes.
  • Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over high heat. When hot, add the onions and cook until fat and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and ginger and stir, cooking until fragrant, another minute. Add the ground beef and minced brown mushrooms and cook, stirring often to break up the meat into pieces, until it is cooked through, about 10 minutes.
  • Add the cabbage, broccoli slaw, carrot, salt, pepper, soy sauce, sweetener, rice vinegar, and yeast extract and stir to combine and cook until the coleslaw is tender, another 5 minutes.
  • Off heat, stir in sesame oil. Taste for seasoning and adjust with salt, pepper, vinegar, and sweetener, as desired. Top with the sesame seeds, green onion, and cilantro before serving atop the butter lettuce.
