    Ingredients
      

    • 1 tablespoon avocado or coconut oil
    • 1 pound lean ground bison or buffalo
    • 4 cups thinly sliced or finely chopped green cabbage
    • 9 ounces roughly chopped cremini mushrooms
    • 1 large carrot peeled and thinly sliced or grated
    • 2 scallions thinly sliced
    • 3 cloves garlic peeled and minced
    • ¼ cup packed fresh basil torn, more to serve
    • ¼ cup packed fresh mint finely chopped
    • ¼ cup tamari or low-sodium tamari
    • 2 tablespoons unseasoned rice vinegar or lime juice
    • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
    • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
    • 1 tablespoon fresh grated gingerroot
    • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
    • 4 servings gluten-free ramen or jasmine rice cooked
    • Sriracha to serve

    Method
     

    1. Heat large Dutch oven or pot over medium-high and add oil, followed by bison. Break up bison and continue to cook, stirring often, until browned and cooked through, about 8 minutes. Add cabbage, mushrooms, carrot, scallions, garlic, and 2 tablespoons water. Stir and cover, keeping heat at medium-high, for 5 minutes to soften vegetables. Uncover and stir again. Reduce heat to medium and cook uncovered, stirring often, until vegetables are tender, 5 to 8 minutes longer. Stir in basil and mint.
    2. In measuring cup or medium bowl, combine 3/4 cup water, tamari, vinegar, fish sauce, maple syrup, ginger, and sesame oil. Add to bison and vegetable mixture and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and cover until ready to serve with noodles or rice, additional basil, and sriracha.
