Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 small head cabbage
- 2 medium carrots
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 inch piece ginger
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 3 stalks green onions
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
Begin by preparing the vegetables: shred the cabbage finely and peel and julienne the carrots into thin strips.
Mince the garlic and ginger finely. Thinly slice the green onions, keeping the white and green parts separate.
In a large wok or skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and ginger, along with the white parts of the green onions and the red pepper flakes. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the shredded cabbage and julienned carrots to the wok. Stir-fry the vegetables for about 5-6 minutes until they start to soften but still retain some crunch.
Pour the soy sauce and sesame oil over the vegetables, then add the salt and ground black pepper. Stir well to combine all the flavors, cooking for another 1-2 minutes.
Remove the pan from heat, add the green parts of the sliced green onions, and give it a final stir.
Serve the cabbage and carrot stir-fry hot, either as a side dish or a light main, over steamed rice or noodles if desired.
