Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head green cabbage
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 inch piece ginger
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 2 stalks green onions
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes
Instructions
Begin by preparing all the vegetables. First, remove the outer leaves of the cabbage, cut it in half, and then slice it into thin strips.
Peel and mince the garlic cloves. Peel the ginger and grate it finely.
Deseed the red bell pepper and slice it into thin strips.
Chop the green onions finely, separating the white and green parts.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the sliced red bell pepper to the skillet and stir-fry for 2 minutes until slightly tender.
Increase the heat to high and add the cabbage strips, stirring continuously to combine with the ginger, garlic, and red pepper.
Pour the soy sauce over the cabbage mixture and sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes.
Continue to stir-fry for another 5 minutes until the cabbage is tender-crisp.
Stir in the white parts of the green onions and cook for another minute.
Turn off the heat, add the sesame seeds, and top with the green parts of the green onions.
Serve the stir-fry hot as a main dish or as a side to your favorite protein.
