• Eggs - 2 large
• Soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free) - 2 tablespoons

Steps

1. In a skillet over medium heat, add sesame oil and sauté minced garlic and grated ginger until fragrant, about 1 minute.
2. Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Stir in the sliced shiitake mushrooms and shredded cabbage, cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes until the cabbage is tender.
4. Add soy sauce, salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes (if using) to the skillet, mixing well to combine.
