Main Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef lean or regular
• 4 cups shredded green cabbage about half a medium head
• 1 cup shredded carrots optional
• 3 cloves garlic minced

2. Stir in the minced garlic and ginger, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
3. Add the shredded cabbage and carrots. Stir fry for 5–7 minutes, until the vegetables are tender but still slightly crisp.
