Servings 4 people

Equipment

  • Large pot
  • Wooden spoon
  • Knife
  • Cutting board

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 carrots, peeled and sliced
  • 1 small head green cabbage, chopped (about 6 cups)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 green onions, sliced

Instructions
 

  • Heat the sesame oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.
  • Stir in the onion, garlic, and ginger. Cook for 2 minutes until the onion softens.
  • Pour in the beef broth and soy sauce. Add the carrots and bring the mixture to a simmer.
  • Stir in the chopped cabbage. Cover the pot and let it cook for 15 minutes, stirring once or twice, until the cabbage is tender.
  • Taste and add salt and pepper as needed. Ladle into bowls and top with the sliced green onions.

Notes

If the broth tastes too strong, add a splash more water or broth after the cabbage cooks down. Leftovers reheat well on the stove with a little extra liquid to loosen the cabbage. For a heartier bowl, serve over a small scoop of cooked rice.
