This step builds that savory base without much fuss.

2-Next, shred the 1/2 head of green cabbage, shred the 2 carrots, slice the 3 green onions, mince the 2 cloves of garlic, and grate the 1 tablespoon of fresh ginger. Heat a large skillet over medium heat, then add 1/2 tablespoon neutral cooking oil, the 1/2 pound lean ground beef, minced garlic, grated ginger, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook until the beef browns, which takes about 5 minutes, stirring to keep it even.
