4 green onions, chopped (plus additional for garnish)
2 cloves garlic, minced (1 teaspoon)
1 inch (2.5cm) ginger, minced (1 tablespoon)
3 tablespoons (45ml) soy sauce
1 tablespoon (15ml) oyster sauce (optional)
1 tablespoon (15ml) sesame oil
1 tablespoon (15ml) vegetable oil (for cooking)

Pepper to taste
Cooked rice (for serving)
Instructions
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add minced garlic and ginger, sautéing for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook for 5-7 minutes until browned.
Stir in sliced mushrooms and cook for another 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add sliced cabbage, stirring until it wilts and softens, about 5-7 more minutes.

Remove from heat and toss in chopped green onions.
Serve over cooked rice and garnish with extra green onions if desired.
Notes
For best results, use a large skillet or wok to prevent overcrowding and ensure even cooking.
Prep all your ingredients before starting to cook, as stir-fries cook quickly.
Adjust the amount of soy sauce and salt based on your preference and whether you’re using low-sodium soy sauce.
