Main Ingredients
- 1 lb (450g) Ground Beef (80/20 recommended)
- 1 medium head Green Cabbage, thinly sliced or shredded
- 2 tbsp Soy Sauce (or Tamari for gluten-free)

- 3 cloves Garlic, minced

Garnish (Optional)

Instructions
Cooking Steps
- Brown the ground beef in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat, breaking it up and cooking until no pink remains; drain any excess fat.
- Push the cooked beef to one side, add minced garlic and grated ginger to the empty side, and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Stir in the shredded cabbage with the beef and aromatics, cooking for 5-7 minutes until it is tender-crisp.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce (or tamari), rice vinegar, and sesame oil to create the sauce.
- Pour the sauce over the beef and cabbage, tossing to coat and heat through for 1-2 minutes; garnish with green onions or sesame seeds if desired, then serve.
Notes
For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes with the garlic and ginger. Adjust soy sauce to taste, considering its sodium content, and use Tamari for a gluten-free option.
