What You’ll Need
- 1½ pounds ground beef
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 1 cup chopped onion
- 1 bag (14–16 oz) shredded coleslaw mix
- ½ cup shredded carrots
- 3 teaspoons minced garlic
- 2 teaspoons ginger paste
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- Chopped green onions, for topping
How to Make It
Step 1: Cook the Beef
Place a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, about 5–7 minutes. Break it apart as it cooks, then drain any extra grease.
Step 2: Add Flavor
Push the beef to the side. In the open space, sauté the onions, garlic, and ginger paste for 2–3 minutes, or until fragrant and soft.
Step 3: Toss in Veggies
Add the cabbage mix and shredded carrots. Stir everything together and cook for 4–5 minutes, just until the veggies are tender-crisp.
Step 4: Season
Pour in the soy sauce and sesame oil. Mix well so everything is evenly coated. Let it cook for another 2–3 minutes.
Step 5: Serve & Garnish
Turn off the heat, sprinkle with chopped green onions, and enjoy as-is or serve with rice or noodles.
