Equipment

  • Large Skillet
  • Deep Pan
  • Mixing bowl

Ingredients
  

For the Cups

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 8 slices bacon, chopped
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 cups green cabbage, finely shredded
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp ginger, minced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • wonton wrappers
  • cooking oil for frying
  • green onions, chopped (for garnish)
  • sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions
 

  • Step 1: In a large skillet, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon and set aside, leaving the grease in the skillet.
  • Step 2: In the same skillet, add the ground beef and cook until browned. Drain excess fat if necessary.
  • Step 3: Stir in the soy sauce, brown sugar, ginger, and garlic. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the mixture is well combined and heated through.
  • Step 4: In a separate bowl, combine the cooked bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, and cabbage. Mix well.
  • Step 5: Preheat the frying oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat.
  • Step 6: To assemble the cups, take a wonton wrapper and place a spoonful of the beef mixture in the center, followed by a spoonful of the bacon and cabbage mixture. Fold the edges of the wrapper to create a cup shape.
  • Step 7: Carefully place the cups in the hot oil and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
  • Step 8: Serve warm, garnished with chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Enjoy!
