In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, and grated fresh ginger until sugar dissolves.

Heat a large skillet over medium heat for 1-2 minutes, then add ground beef. Cook for 5-7 minutes until browned, stirring frequently.

In the last minute of cooking beef, stir in minced garlic.

Increase heat to high and add julienned carrots, sautéing for 1 minute.

Then add shredded cabbage and bean sprouts, cooking for another minute until vegetables slightly soften.

Reduce heat to medium, pour the prepared sauce over beef and vegetables, tossing gently. Cook for another 1-2 minutes.

Remove skillet from heat and serve immediately over rice.
