Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Cabbage
- 2 medium Zucchini
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Red chili flakes
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 stalks Green onions
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Prepare your ingredients: thinly slice the cabbage, cut the zucchini into half-moon slices, finely mince the garlic, and chop the green onions.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Add the sliced zucchini to the skillet and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until it starts to soften but remains slightly firm.
Add the sliced cabbage to the skillet. Stir everything together and continue to sauté for 3-4 minutes until the cabbage begins to wilt but still retains some crunch.
Drizzle the soy sauce and sesame oil over the vegetables, then sprinkle in the red chili flakes, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to evenly coat the vegetables.
Cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are tender but not overcooked.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chopped green onions and lemon juice for a burst of freshness.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Transfer the stir fry to a serving dish and enjoy it warm as a side dish or with rice, noodles, or your choice of protein!
