Instructions
- 1Combine the soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, sriracha sauce, and brown sugar in a small bowl, stirring until the brown sugar dissolves. Set the sauce aside.
- 2Shred the cabbage by halving it, removing the core, and finely shredding one half (4–6 cups); shred the carrots using a cheese grater (about 1 cup); slice the green onions; mince the garlic; and grate the fresh ginger using a small-holed grater.
- 3Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat for 1 minute until shimmering.
- 4Add the ground beef, garlic, ginger, and a pinch of salt and pepper to the skillet. Cook 5–7 minutes over medium-high heat, breaking up the beef with a spoon, until no longer pink and browned throughout.
- 5Add the shredded cabbage and carrots to the skillet. Cook 4–6 minutes over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until the cabbage is slightly wilted and the carrots are tender-crisp.
- 6Stir in the prepared sauce and green onions. Cook 1–2 minutes over medium heat until the sauce coats the vegetables and the mixture is heated through.
- 7Top the stir-fry with sesame seeds and divide evenly into 4 airtight containers while hot. Drizzle with additional sriracha if desired.
