Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head (about 2 pounds) Green cabbage
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Ginger
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (low sodium)
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil or avocado oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Green onions (optional, for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
1. Prepare the cabbage by removing the outer leaves and the core. Slice the cabbage into thin strips (about 1/4-inch thick).
2. Mince the garlic and grate the ginger.
3. In a large skillet or wok, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil (or avocado oil) over medium-high heat.
4. Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Stir constantly and cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute, until fragrant.
5. Add the sliced cabbage to the skillet. Stir well to combine the garlic and ginger with the cabbage.
6. Stir fry the cabbage for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage becomes tender with some golden edges.
7. Reduce the heat to medium, and stir in the soy sauce, sesame oil, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, tossing to coat the cabbage evenly.
8. Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the stir-fried cabbage to a serving dish.
9. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
10. Serve hot as a side dish or a light main course.
