  • 1 medium onion chopped; shallots or green onions can be substituted
  • 2 cloves garlic freshly minced, or use garlic powder

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a small bowl, combine coconut aminos, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and crushed red pepper flakes. Whisk together and set aside.
  2. Place a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add avocado oil and heat until shimmering, about 1-2 minutes.
  3. Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for about 5 minutes until soft and translucent.
  4. Stir in minced garlic and freshly grated ginger. Cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Add ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart. Cook until browned, about 5 minutes.
  6. Stir in the chopped cabbage and shredded carrots, pour the sauce over the mixture, and toss gently.
  7. Cook for 3-5 minutes until the cabbage wilts and everything is coated in the sauce.
  8. Continue cooking for about 5 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  9. Remove from heat, serve hot, and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.
