Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head Green cabbage
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Dried red chili flakes
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Chinese black vinegar (or rice vinegar)
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Remove and discard the outer leaves of the cabbage. Cut the cabbage into bite-sized chunks or thin strips, depending on your preference. Wash and drain well.
Peel and mince the garlic cloves.
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, black vinegar, sugar, and sesame oil. Set aside.
Heat a large wok or frying pan over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and dried red chili flakes. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Add the cabbage to the wok. Stir-fry for 5-6 minutes, tossing often to ensure it cooks evenly. The cabbage should be tender but still slightly crisp.
Sprinkle the salt over the cabbage and pour in the prepared sauce. Stir-fry for another minute, ensuring the cabbage is well coated with the sauce.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Remove from heat and transfer to a serving plate.
Serve immediately as a side dish or with steamed rice as part of a larger meal.
