instructions
    1

    Begin by finely chopping the garlic and onion, and slicing the cabbage into thin strips.

    2

    In a large frying pan or wok, heat 2 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat.

    3

    Add the chopped garlic and onion to the pan. Sauté them for about 2 minutes until they are fragrant and the onion becomes translucent.

    4

    Once the garlic and onion are ready, add the ground meat to the pan. Use a spatula to break it apart. Cook it for about 5-7 minutes until it is browned and thoroughly cooked.

    5

    Now, add the sliced cabbage to the pan. Stir everything together and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until the cabbage is wilted but still crunchy.

    6

    Pour in the soy sauce and sprinkle the white pepper. Continue to stir for another minute to ensure all ingredients are well combined.

    7

    Season with salt to taste. Finally, sprinkle chopped green onions over the dish as garnish and mix them in gently.

    Serve hot over steamed rice for a delightful meal.
