Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head green cabbage
- 1 medium carrot
- 1 medium green bell pepper
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 0.25 cup vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon ginger
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 stalks scallions
Instructions
Start by preparing your vegetables: Slice the cabbage into thin shreds, peel and julienne the carrot, and slice the green bell pepper into thin strips. Mince the garlic and thinly slice the scallions.
Heat a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium heat and add the teaspoon of olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and grated ginger, stir-frying for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the cabbage, carrot, and green bell pepper to the skillet. Stir well to combine the vegetables with the garlic and ginger.
Pour the vegetable broth over the veggies and continue to stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes, or until the cabbage starts to soften.
Add the soy sauce, black pepper, and red pepper flakes to the skillet. Stir well to ensure all vegetables are evenly coated.
Continue cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the vegetables reach your desired level of tenderness.
Once cooked, remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the sesame seeds over the stir fry.
Garnish with sliced scallions before serving. Serve hot as a side dish or over rice for a complete meal.
