9 steps

1. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

2. Add the ground pork and cook, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat if needed.

3. Move the cooked pork to one side of the skillet and add the minced garlic and ginger to the cleared space. Cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

4. Stir in the shredded cabbage and julienned carrot. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 3-5 minutes.

6. Remove the skillet from heat and mix in the sliced green onions.

7. Toast the burger buns, if desired, and spoon the Moo Shu mixture onto the bottom halves of the buns.

8. Garnish with fresh cilantro and sesame seeds, if desired, then place the top buns over the filling.
