- Method: Pan Frying
- Cuisine: Asian
- 1 cup finely chopped green cabbage
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon minced ginger
- 1 pound ground beef
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 chopped green onions
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 8 ounces fresh egg noodles
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil (for cooking)
- Additional sesame oil (for frying)
- In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of sesame oil over medium heat. Add 1 cup of finely chopped cabbage and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until it begins to soften.
- Toss in 1 tablespoon of minced garlic and 1 tablespoon of minced ginger, stirring constantly for another minute until fragrant.
- Add 1 pound of ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until it is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
- Once the beef is fully cooked, stir in 3 tablespoons of soy sauce, 2 chopped green onions, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix everything well and let it cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to meld the flavors. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
- While the filling is cooling, cook 8 ounces of fresh egg noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process. Once cooled, chop the noodles into smaller pieces for easier filling.
- In a large bowl, combine the cooled beef and cabbage mixture with the chopped noodles. Mix everything together until well combined.
- Take small portions of the mixture and shape them into small buns or patties, about the size of your palm. Wetting your hands a little helps prevent sticking.
- In a non-stick skillet, heat another tablespoon of sesame oil over medium heat. Place the buns in the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd them. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Repeat with the remaining buns, adding more oil as necessary.
