Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound lean ground beef Opt for grass-fed beef for improved flavor and omega-3 content.
  • 4 cups chopped cabbage Fresh, green cabbage brings the best crunch; avoid wilted varieties.
Condiments
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce For that umami kick.
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil For rich flavor.
Aromatics
  • 2 cloves garlic Minced.
  • 1 tablespoon ginger Minced.
Seasonings

Garnish
  • to taste green onions Sliced.

Method
 

Cooking
  1. Heat a heavy-bottomed cast iron skillet over medium heat and add the sesame oil.
  2. Introduce the ground beef, browning it thoroughly and breaking apart large clumps for about 6-8 minutes.
  3. Stir in minced garlic and ginger, allowing them to sizzle for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Toss in the chopped cabbage and pour over the soy sauce, stirring continuously until the cabbage is tender but still crunchy, which takes approximately 5-7 minutes.
  5. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Serve hot, garnished with sliced green onions for a fresh touch.

Notes

For extra nutrients, add sesame or sunflower seeds. Use monk fruit instead of sugar for a sweeter taste.
