Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Savoy cabbage
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili flakes
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 stalks Green onions (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Remove any tough outer leaves from the Savoy cabbage. Cut the head into quarters, remove the core, and thinly slice the leaves into strips.
Peel and finely mince the fresh ginger and garlic cloves.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced ginger and garlic. Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to let them burn.
Add the sliced Savoy cabbage to the skillet, tossing to coat it in the oil, ginger, and garlic mixture.
Drizzle the soy sauce and rice vinegar over the cabbage. Continue to stir-fry for 6-8 minutes until the cabbage is tender but still slightly crisp.
Stir in the sesame oil, red chili flakes, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another minute to let the flavors combine.
Remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish. Optionally, garnish with sliced green onions for an extra layer of flavor and presentation.
Serve warm as a side dish or on its own with a bowl of steamed rice or crusty bread.
