  2. Brown the Ground Meat: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground meat, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook for 5-7 minutes until browned and cooked through. Drain any excess fat if desired.
  3. Sautรฉ Aromatics: Add the minced garlic and ginger into the skillet with the cooked meat. Stir frequently for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Notes

  • Do not overcook the cabbage to keep it crunchy and nutrient-rich.
  • Use a large skillet to ensure even cooking and prevent steaming.
  • Adjust the heat level by modifying the amount of red pepper flakes or adding spicy sauces like sriracha.
  • Fresh garlic and ginger provide a superior flavor compared to powders.
  • If cabbage releases too much moisture, drain some liquid to avoid sogginess.
