Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head Cabbage
- 3 medium Carrots
- 3 large Garlic cloves
- 1 inch piece Fresh ginger
- 2 stalks Green onions
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Low sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
Instructions
Begin by preparing your vegetables: thinly slice the cabbage, peel and julienne the carrots, mince the garlic, grate the ginger, and chop the green onions.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet, sautéing for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the sliced cabbage and julienned carrots to the skillet, stir-frying for 5-6 minutes until the vegetables soften but still retain some crunch.
Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the low sodium soy sauce, rice vinegar, and black pepper, mixing well to ensure the vegetables are evenly coated.
Continue to cook for another 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Remove from heat and toss in the chopped green onions.
Transfer the stir-fry to a serving dish and sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving.
Serve hot as a side dish or enjoy on its own for a light meal.
