Ingredients

Sesame Soy Sauce

  • 125 ml Low Sodium Soy Sauce
  • 37.5 ml Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 10 ml Sesame Oil
  • 15 ml Mirin Optional
  • Ground White Pepper To Taste

Meat & Vegetables

  • 5 ml Spray Oil
  • 750 g Beef, Chicken, Turkey, or Pork Mince 10% Fat
  • 6 Garlic Cloves Grated
  • 15 g Ginger Grated
  • 350 g White Cabbage Shredded
  • 350 g Red Cabbage Shredded
  • 3 Carrots Grated or Julienned
  • 100 g Edamame Beans (Optional)
  • 4 Spring Onions (Scallions) Sliced
  • Salt & Ground White Pepper To Taste

Garnish

  • Sesame Seeds Garnish
  • Spring Onions (Scallions) Garnish

Method

  • Add the sesame soy sauce ingredients to a bowl and whisk to combine. Set aside.
  • Chop all of the vegetables and add them to a bowl or plate.
  • Place a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add a coating of spray oil and sear the mince for 6–8 minutes, breaking it up with a spatula, until cooked through — 71°C (160°F) if using beef or pork, 74°C (165°F) if using chicken or turkey. Season lightly with salt and white pepper.
  • Add the garlic and ginger and continue cooking for 1 minute, until fragrant. Increase the heat to high and add the chopped vegetables. Cook for 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened but still with a bite (al dente).
  • Pour in the sesame soy sauce and cook for 1–2 minutes, mixing well to coat everything. Remove from the heat.
  • Portion into 5 x 750ml meal prep containers. Garnish with sesame seeds and spring onion. Dig in.
Chef's Tips
Break the mince up small and let it brown properly before adding the garlic and ginger — this recipe moves fast, and getting good colour on the meat early is the main source of flavour once everything else goes in.
Add the cabbage and carrots over high heat and keep the pan moving — this is a quick stir-fry step, not a braise, and the goal is vegetables that still have crunch, not ones that have gone limp and watery.
Taste the sesame soy sauce before adding it and adjust with a splash more vinegar or a pinch of white pepper if needed — soy sauce brands vary a lot in saltiness, and this is your last real chance to balance it before it's coating everything.
Storage & Reheating
Refrigerate for up to 3–4 days in an airtight container. Cool completely before storing to prevent condensation and sogginess, and keep it sealed tightly to avoid odour absorption from other foods.
Freeze for up to 2–3 months in a freezer-safe container or bag. Portion into smaller servings for easier thawing, and label with the date.
Reheat in a skillet or microwave until thoroughly hot. Thaw frozen portions overnight in the fridge before reheating — this dish freezes well since it lacks the delicate wrappers of traditional egg rolls.
