Instructions

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add beef and cook until browned, 5–7 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.

Stir in garlic, ginger, and white parts of green onions. Cook 1 minute.

Add cabbage and red pepper flakes. Stir-fry for 5 minutes until cabbage softens.

Mix soy sauce, oyster sauce, vinegar, and sesame oil. Pour over the skillet mixture.

Stir and cook 2–3 minutes more.

Season to taste, garnish with green onion tops and sesame seeds, and serve.

Notes

Use ground turkey or chicken for a leaner version.

Add carrots, bell peppers, or chili garlic sauce for variation.

Great for meal prep—flavor deepens after a day.
