Note

Meat Substitution: Pork or chicken may be substituted for the ground beef for a different flavor profile.

Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a pan with a splash of water to restore sauce consistency.

Tip: Ensure the wok is very hot before adding the meat to achieve a good sear and prevent sticking.
