Ingredients:

• 1 lb ground beef

• 1 tablespoon avocado oil (or any neutral oil)

• 1 onion, chopped

• 4 garlic cloves, minced

• 1-inch piece of fresh ginger, grated

• 1 head of green cabbage, thinly sliced (about 8 cups)

• 1/2 cup shredded carrots

• 2 tablespoons soy sauce

• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar

• 1 teaspoon sesame oil

• 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)

• Salt and pepper, to taste

• Green onions and sesame seeds, for garnish

Directions:

1. Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and crushed red pepper flakes. Set aside.

2. Cook the Ground Beef: Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 5–7 minutes. Remove any excess fat.

3. Sauté Aromatics: Add the chopped onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

4. Add Vegetables: Stir in the sliced cabbage and shredded carrots. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is wilted and tender, about 5–7 minutes.

5. Combine with Sauce: Pour the prepared sauce over the beef and vegetable mixture. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 2 minutes to heat through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

6. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Serve hot over rice or enjoy as is.
