02 - Heat vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook, breaking apart with a spatula, until browned and cooked through, approximately 4 to 5 minutes.
03 - Add garlic, ginger, and white parts of green onions to the beef. Stir-fry for 1 minute until fragrant.
