Step 1

Heat oil in a skillet and add your diced onion and ginger and fry for a minute until fragrant.

Step 2

Add the shredded cabbage and stir to evenly coat with the oil, onions and ginger. Sprinkle a pinch of salt over the cabbage and cover to allow the cabbage to steam for 3-5 minutes.

Step 3

Once the cabbage has softened slightly make a "well" in the middle by pushing the cabbage to the sides of the pot and add the ground beef.

Step 4

Season the ground beef with garlic, salt, pepper and paprika (if using) and mix the spices in.

Step 5

Allow the beef to cook, being sure to turn it and break it up into beef crumbles as it cooks.

Step 6

When the beef is no longer pink, incorporate the cabbage into the meat.

Step 7

Stir in the tomato paste and honey to the ground beef and cabbage mixture. Cover and allow to simmer on low for 5 minutes.

Step 8

Adjust seasoning levels to suit your personal taste and turn off the heat. Cover and let rest for at least 10 minutes before serving.

Step 9

Top with chives and serve with brown rice or even with some slices of boiled and pan-fried potato.
