I added a spoonful of hoisin sauce and some chili/garlic sauce for some zing. 1 lb. of ground chuck and a pre chopped package of coleslaw mix. Put the cabbage at the end of recipe to keep some crunch. Will be making this one again.

I found this recipe to be 100% authentic as if I were eating it in China. I don't mean americanized Chinese. I mean real Chinese. One thing I did differently, I added a whole head of cabbage as opposed to 1/2 since I wanted more veggies. I also added top round steak instead of ground beef. Overall, 4 out of 5 stars. =)

I thought this was great, but I did make some adjustments. I added 1 Tbl. minced fresh ginger with the garlic, which was key to the authentic flavor. I used 1 pkg. thin strips of beef instead of ground beef, as others suggested. I used a bag of chopped cabbage as a timesaver (would definitely do that again!). Next time I will marinate the beef overnight in some oil and soy sauce to make it more tender (it was still tough even thought it was wafer-thin, and I didn't over cook it). Just as a personal preference, I will double the sauce. Thanks for the recipe!

It was ok. It didn't have as much flavor as I was hoping. If I make it again I think I'll add some fresh chopped ginger because it just seemed to need something else.

I doubled the recipe but put in much more black pepper than called for as I didn't think the amount in the recipe was enough. With that tweak and adding a little sweet soy sauce, it was a tasty and simple dinner for a busy weekday night.

very tasty stir fry... I am not sure if I really like using ground beef in a stir fry but this still turned out good... very cheap and easy to make.. I doubled the recipe... and added an onion instead of a a second bell pepper... also I used beef broth instead of water.. next time I might try using thinly sliced beef instead of hamburger... very peppery... good flavor..

I made several changes to this recipe - however as written I am sure Grumpy would have liked it better. I changed up the sauce some and spiced it up with black bean chili sauce. I totally LOVED it. I am big on peppers and spice. I think next time I will have to forgo the spice for Grumpy and go with the amount of peppers in the recipe. I guess this was more for me than him since he's not a pepper fan either but I was craving beef cabbage and peppers and this recipe came up first in my search!

Fantastic! Very easy and the cabbage adds just enough "crunch" texture!!! Wish it made more servings, but will double next time!!!

Used green pepper instead of red because I had it on hand. As I was preparing I was thinking my grandson is not going to eat this (he's funny about the way things "look") but he CLEANED his plate. I served it over rice and it was pretty good. When I make it again, I will definitely "spice" it up as it was a little bland. Not sure what the 1/2 t. cornstarch did, it didn't seem to thicked at all. I also liked the idea of adding broccoli next time.

OMG This was so good! The only thing I changed was to make w/left over pork instead of the burger. Easy, good, and bonus the kids ate it right up! I am actually going to make again tonight w/ steak... can't wait!
