Heat a little oil in a large frying pan or wok and brown the meat well.
Add the garlic, ginger and the white part of the spring onions and fry for a couple of minutes before adding the cabbage and carrots. Fry until the cabbage starts to wilt.
Pour in the soy sauce, hoisin sauce and the green part of the spring onions and fry for a couple more minutes, or until the cabbage is tender.
Season with freshly ground pepper and a little more soy or hoisin sauce if needed, and serve with a sprinkling of sesame seeds and lime wedges - with a portion of rice or noodles if you like.
