Instructions

Prep all vegetables and aromatics before starting to cook.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Brown the ground beef, breaking it apart until fully cooked. Drain excess fat if necessary.
Add garlic and ginger to the pan and stir for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Stir in the cabbage and carrots. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until vegetables are crisp-tender.
Pour in soy sauce and oyster sauce. Toss to coat evenly. Add green onions and finish with a drizzle of sesame oil.
Serve hot, garnished with extra green onions or sesame seeds if desired.

Notes

Serve over rice or noodles for a complete meal.
