Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head Green cabbage
- 2 tablespoons Avocado oil (or olive oil)
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (or coconut aminos for gluten-free)
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
- 2 stalks Green onions (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Remove any damaged outer leaves from the cabbage. Cut the cabbage in half, remove the core, and thinly slice into long shreds.
Peel and mince the garlic cloves.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the avocado oil and allow it to heat for 30 seconds.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Add the shredded cabbage to the skillet and stir well to combine with the garlic and oil. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage begins to soften and turn slightly translucent.
In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce (or coconut aminos), rice vinegar, sesame oil, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.
Pour the sauce mixture over the cabbage and toss to coat evenly. Cook for another 3-5 minutes until the cabbage is tender and absorbs the flavors.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Add more salt or pepper to preference.
Transfer the stir-fried cabbage to a serving dish. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy! This stir fry pairs well with grilled chicken, shrimp, or tofu for a complete keto meal.
