1 medium onion, thinly sliced

2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking)
Directions:
- Shred the cabbage, slice the onion, mince the garlic, and grate the ginger.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Remove beef from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add onion, garlic, and ginger. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until onions are soft and translucent.
- Increase the heat to high and add shredded cabbage. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until cabbage wilts and caramelizes slightly.
