Instructions
Step 1: Brown the Beef
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until fully browned.
Tip: Break it into small pieces as it cooks, and let it sit briefly without stirring to develop a slightly crisp edge.
Step 2: Add Aromatics
Stir in the chopped onion, garlic, and ginger. Cook for about 3–4 minutes until the onion softens and everything becomes fragrant.
Step 3: Cook the Cabbage
Add the sliced cabbage to the pan.
Tip: Since cabbage releases a lot of moisture, cook just until it softens but still has a slight crunch—about 5 minutes.
Step 4: Season and Combine
Pour in the soy sauce, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes. Toss everything together so the flavors coat the ingredients evenly. Season with salt and pepper as needed.
Step 5: Finish and Serve
Cook for another 3–4 minutes until the cabbage is tender yet vibrant. Remove from heat and top with sliced green onions before serving.
