Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and tools ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
  • Choose the Right Cabbage: Select a firm, compact head of cabbage with tightly packed leaves. Napa cabbage is a good choice for this recipe.
  • Slice the Cabbage Thinly: Use a sharp knife to slice the cabbage into thin strips. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Brown the Beef: Cook the ground beef over medium-high heat until it is browned and no longer pink. Drain any excess grease.
  • Use a Flavorful Marinade: Marinate the beef in a flavorful mixture of soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, and brown sugar for at least 30 minutes. This will help tenderize the beef and infuse it with flavor.
  • Cook the Cabbage Cups: Place the cabbage cups in a steamer basket and steam for 5-7 minutes, or until they are tender but still slightly crunchy.
  • Make the Sauce: While the cabbage cups are steaming, make the sauce. Combine soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, and brown sugar in a small bowl. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.
  • Assemble the Cabbage Cups: Place a spoonful of cooked beef into each cabbage cup. Top with the sauce and sprinkle with green onions.
