Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 3 large, minced garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon, minced ginger
- 1 medium head, thinly sliced green cabbage
- 3 medium, julienned carrots
- 3 tablespoons gluten-free soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 stalks, sliced scallions
- 1 tablespoon, toasted sesame seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Heat a large wok or frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the sesame oil and heat until shimmering.
Add the minced garlic and ginger to the pan and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
Introduce the sliced cabbage and julienned carrots to the wok. Stir-fry for approximately 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
In a small bowl, mix the gluten-free soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, and red pepper flakes. Pour this mixture over the cabbage and carrot in the pan.
Continue to stir-fry the vegetables in the sauce for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to coat evenly.
Add the sliced scallions and toss quickly to combine well.
Season the stir-fry with salt and black pepper to taste. Remove from heat.
Transfer the stir-fry to a serving platter and garnish with toasted sesame seeds before serving.
