- Black pepper to taste
- 7 oz chopped cabbage (200g)
- 1 ¼ lb steamed Chinese noodles (550g )

Instructions
- In a wok, deep frying pan, or large electric pan, sauté the onion and cabbage in the oil over medium heat until slightly soft. Add the ground beef and black pepper to taste. Cook, stirring constantly, until the beef begins to change color. Then add the noodles, separating the strands a little with your fingers as you put them in the pan.

- Serve on individual plates, passing the seaweed and pickled ginger separately to sprinkle over the noodles.
