Ginger, Beef, and Mushroom Stir-fry Recipe

It’s just like the ginger beef you used to get from the takeout menu…if that ginger beef got a healthy makeover, skipped on the mystery oils, and added a healthy dose of mushrooms and leafy greens for extra color and nutrition.

So in other words, it's really not like the ginger beef you used to get from the takeout menu: it's better.

If you’re not familiar with rapini (also called broccoli rabe), it looks just like a leafier and more slender version of broccoli. That makes it better for stir-frying because it cooks more evenly, and the shape is more similar to the other ingredients.

In the produce section, it should be near the broccoli and cauliflower, and other brassicas; if you can’t find it, you can always substitute kale.

The mushrooms are also pretty flexible; use whatever kind you like or can get. The kids named in the ingredients are really just a suggestion: tasty, but not the only way to go.

This would be a perfect main dish to use if you’re testing your skills at making cauliflower rice, but you could also enjoy it over any kind of roasted vegetables or just with a hot bowl of soup.
