Add the soy sauce, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes if using, and stir well to combine.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, until the cabbage is tender but still crisp.
Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions before serving.
Variations & Tips
For a milder version, omit the red pepper flakes. If you have picky eaters, you can add some sliced bell peppers or carrots for extra color and sweetness. For a vegetarian twist, substitute the ground beef with crumbled tofu or a plant-based ground meat alternative. Feel free to experiment with different types of cabbage or add a splash of rice vinegar for a tangy kick.
