Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head green cabbage
- 2 large carrot
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 3 cloves garlic
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage, then cut it in half and core it. Slice the cabbage finely into thin shreds.
Peel the carrots and grate them using a box grater or food processor.
Seed the red bell pepper and slice it into thin strips.
Peel and thinly slice the yellow onion.
Mince the garlic cloves.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, sauté the onion for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add the garlic and sauté for another 30 seconds, until fragrant.
Stir in the sliced cabbage, grated carrots, and bell pepper strips. Cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables begin to soften but still retain some crunch.
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, ground black pepper, and salt. Pour the mixture over the vegetables and toss to coat evenly.
Continue cooking for another 4-6 minutes until the cabbage is tender but not mushy.
Transfer the mixture to a serving dish, garnish with freshly chopped parsley, and serve warm. Enjoy!
