Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head Green cabbage
- 1 large Carrot
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves
- 1 inch piece Ginger
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 2 stalks Green onions
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili flakes
Instructions
Peel off the outer leaves of the cabbage, wash, and shred it finely using a sharp knife or mandoline slicer.
Peel the carrot and julienne it into thin strips.
Mince the garlic and finely grate the ginger.
Slice the green onions into thin rounds, separating the white and green parts.
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, sesame oil, and sugar until the sugar dissolves.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and the white parts of the green onions. Stir-fry for 30 seconds, until fragrant.
Toss in the shredded cabbage and carrot, stir-frying for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened but still crisp.
Pour the soy sauce mixture over the vegetables and sprinkle in the red chili flakes. Stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes to ensure every piece is coated and cooked through.
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the stir-fried cabbage to a serving dish.
Garnish with the green parts of the chopped green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
Serve hot as a side dish or over steamed rice for a light main course.
