Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head Green cabbage
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce, reduced sodium
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 2 stalks Green onions
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
Instructions
Start by preparing your vegetables. Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage, then cut the cabbage in half and core it. Slice it thinly to create shreds.
Mince the garlic cloves finely and set aside.
Slice the green onions thinly; keep the white and green parts separate.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and the white parts of the green onions. Stir-fry for 1 minute until they are fragrant.
Add the shredded cabbage to the pan, stirring constantly, so it cooks evenly.
Pour in the reduced sodium soy sauce and rice vinegar. Stir-fry the cabbage in the sauce for about 5-6 minutes or until it reaches your desired level of tenderness.
Add the sesame oil, salt, and black pepper to the pan. Stir well to combine and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Turn off the heat and add the sliced green parts of the green onions.
Transfer the stir-fried cabbage to a serving dish and sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving.
Serve immediately as a side dish or light vegetarian main course.
