Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head Green cabbage
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (low sodium)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Red chili flakes (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 2 stalks Green onions (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Remove any damaged outer leaves from the cabbage and rinse it under cold water. Slice the cabbage into thin strips, discarding the core.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. If using green onions for garnish, slice them thinly and set aside.
In a large skillet or wok, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat for about 1 minute.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to let it brown.
Add the sliced cabbage to the skillet and stir constantly to combine it with the garlic and oil. Cook for 4–5 minutes, or until the cabbage begins to soften.
Drizzle the soy sauce and sesame oil over the cabbage, then sprinkle in the salt, ground black pepper, and red chili flakes (if using). Stir well to coat the cabbage in the seasonings.
Continue cooking for another 3–5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the cabbage is tender but still slightly crisp. Adjust seasoning to taste, if necessary.
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the stir-fried cabbage to a serving dish.
Garnish with sliced green onions, if desired, and serve hot as a side dish or a light meal.
