Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head green cabbage
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 3 stalks green onions
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage and slice in half. Cut out the core and slice the cabbage into thin 1/4-inch strips.
Peel and mince the garlic cloves. Grate the fresh ginger using a fine grater. Slice the green onions into thin rounds, separating the white and green parts.
In a large pan or wok, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and the white parts of the green onions to the pan. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant, ensuring they do not burn.
Add the sliced cabbage to the pan. Stir well to coat the cabbage evenly with the garlic and ginger.
Drizzle the low-sodium soy sauce and rice vinegar over the cabbage. Sprinkle the red pepper flakes and black pepper on top.
Stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes until the cabbage is tender-crisp. Adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Remove the pan from heat. Garnish with the green parts of the green onions and sprinkle the sesame seeds over the top.
Serve immediately as a side dish or simple main course. Enjoy your heart-healthy stir-fried cabbage!
