Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head Green cabbage
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds
- 2 stalks Green onions
- 0.25 teaspoons Red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage and slice it in half. Cut out the core and thinly slice the cabbage into long, noodle-like strips.
Mince the garlic cloves and thinly slice the green onions. Set both aside for later use.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds, until fragrant.
Add the sliced cabbage to the skillet and toss to coat it in the garlic-infused oil.
Cook the cabbage for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it wilts and softens but still retains a slight crunch.
Stir in the soy sauce, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Toss well to evenly distribute the seasonings.
Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Sprinkle the sesame seeds over the cooked cabbage noodles and toss gently.
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish the dish with the sliced green onions before serving.
Serve the cabbage noodles hot as a standalone dish or pair them with your favorite protein or stir-fry.
