Cooking Instructions

Pour 1 tablespoon of sesame oil into a large skillet and heat over medium heat for 1-2 minutes.
Add 1 sliced onion, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tablespoon of freshly grated ginger, sauté for 2-3 minutes.
Introduce 1 pound of ground beef, brown for 5-7 minutes until no longer pink, draining excess fat.
Add 4 cups of sliced cabbage, 3 tablespoons of soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of rice vinegar, and 2 tablespoons of hoisin sauce, toss gently for 1-2 minutes.
Continue cooking for an additional 5-7 minutes until the cabbage is tender yet slightly crispy.
Season with salt and pepper to taste, then garnish with chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds.
