9. Trim off and discard ends of the green onion. Cut green onion into small pieces (I like to use kitchen scissors for this). Transfer to a small bowl
10. Once the pan is hot, add the ground beef and cook, breaking apart until brown and crumbly, 3-4 minutes
11. Add the soy sauce mixture and 3/4 of the green onion to the pan, and stir to combine for 2 minutes
