  • 3 cloves Garlic Minced
  • 4 cups Cabbage Shredded

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Begin by heating a large skillet over medium heat. Add the lean ground beef and cook for about 5-7 minutes, breaking it into smaller pieces with a spatula. Drain excess fat after browning.
  2. Stir in the diced onion and minced garlic into the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the onions to soften and turn translucent while the garlic releases its aroma.
  3. Add the shredded cabbage to the skillet. Mix thoroughly and cook for about 5 minutes, or until the cabbage wilts but maintains a slight crunch.
  4. Pour in the soy sauce (or coconut aminos), sesame oil, rice vinegar, ground ginger, and red pepper flakes. Stir well and allow the mixture to cook for another 2-3 minutes.
  5. Plate the mixture and garnish with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds. Serve hot and enjoy.
