Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare all your ingredients. Chop the cabbage into thin strips, slice the shiitake mushrooms, and finely mince the garlic and ginger. Thinly slice the green onions, reserving some for garnish.
  2. In a large pan or wok, pour in 2 tablespoons of sesame oil and heat over medium-high heat until the oil shimmers.
  3. Add 1 pound of ground beef to the hot oil and cook for about 5 to 7 minutes, breaking the meat apart as it cooks.
  4. Once the ground beef is browned, stir in the minced garlic and ginger, cooking for an additional 1 to 2 minutes.
  5. Next, toss in the chopped shiitake mushrooms and cabbage. Sauté for 3 to 5 minutes until the cabbage is tender-crisp.
  6. Pour in 2 to 3 tablespoons of soy sauce and stir until everything is evenly coated.
  7. Remove from heat and serve immediately, garnished with reserved green onions.
