Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1/2 small small onion, finely diced
  • 3 cups green cabbage, shredded
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or coconut aminos for low sodium)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 green onions sliced (for garnish)
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Method
 

Cooking
  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Drain any excess fat.
  2. Add the diced onion and garlic to the beef. Cook for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and soft.
  3. Stir in the shredded cabbage and sauté until slightly wilted, about 5 minutes.
  4. Add soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, ground ginger, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Mix well and cook another 2-3 minutes until cabbage is tender.
  5. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat in a skillet over low heat or microwave until heated through. For a vegetarian version, substitute the ground beef with crumbled tofu or a meat substitute.
