Ingredients
  

For the Filling
  • 1 lb Lean Ground Beef A hearty protein choice; you can swap it with ground chicken, turkey, or pork for variety.
  • 1/2 medium Onion, finely diced Adds sweetness; consider using shallots for a milder flavor.
  • 1 medium Carrot, julienned or coarsely grated Provides a crunchy texture; pre-packaged coleslaw mix works well for quick prep.
  • 3 cloves Garlic, minced Infuses the dish with aromatic flavor; feel free to omit for a milder taste.
  • 3 cups Green Cabbage, thinly sliced The base veggie that adds crunch; substitute with coleslaw mix for convenience.
For the Seasoning
  • 1 Tbsp Olive Oil Used to sauté the filling; sesame oil can elevate the flavor even more.
  • 1/2 tsp Fine Sea Salt Enhances flavor; adjust according to your taste.
  • 1/4 tsp Black Pepper Adds mild heat; using freshly ground pepper boosts flavor.
  • 1 tsp Ground Ginger Offers a lovely aromatic note; substitute with fresh ginger for a stronger kick.
  • 1/4 cup Low-Sodium Soy Sauce Brings umami taste; coconut aminos make a perfect gluten-free alternative.
  • 1/2 tsp Granulated Sugar Balances the flavors; skip it altogether for a low-carb option.
  • 2 tsp Sesame Oil Adds a nutty depth; it's optional if you don't have it on hand.
For Garnish
  • 1 Tbsp Green Onion, chopped Adds a fresh touch; you can use chives if you prefer.
