Begin by preparing your ingredients for the Chinese Ground Beef and Cabbage Stir Fry. Chop the cabbage into bite-sized pieces, slice shiitake mushrooms, and mince the green onions. For the key aromatics, finely mince a couple of cloves of garlic and a thumb-sized piece of ginger.

Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until hot, then add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula. Brown the beef for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until it is no longer pink and starts to crisp slightly.

Once your ground beef is perfectly browned, stir in the minced garlic and ginger. Allow them to sauté for about 1 minute, until their fragrant aroma fills your kitchen.

Next, add the chopped cabbage and sliced mushrooms to the skillet, tossing everything to combine. Stir fry the mixture for about 5 minutes until the cabbage becomes tender and slightly wilted.

Pour in the soy sauce and drizzle the sesame oil over the stir fry. Toss all the ingredients together for about 2-3 minutes, ensuring everything is well-coated and heated through.

Remove the stir fry from heat and garnish with chopped green onions. Serve your delicious Chinese Ground Beef and Cabbage Stir Fry over steamed rice, cauliflower rice, or enjoy it solo.
