Instructions

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook and crumble the ground beef. Add the onion, the garlic, and the ginger and continue cooking and stirring for about 3 minutes until softened and fragrant.

While the beef and onion are cooking, whisk together the soy sauce, chili paste, and cornstarch in a small glass or bowl. Set aside. Pour in the sauce and stir to mix throughout.

Stir in the cabbage and reduce the heat to medium. Cover with a lid for about 3 minutes, until it begins to soften. Uncover and continue cooking uncovered for an additional minute or two, as needed, until the sauce has mostly been absorbed and the cabbage is tender-crisp.

Taste the stir fry and adjust the salt and pepper, as desired. Sprinkle with green onions and sesame seeds before serving. Drizzle with additional sauces, if desired.
