Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head green cabbage
- 1 large carrot
- 1 tablespoon, finely grated ginger
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon honey or sugar
- 2 stalks, chopped scallions
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon neutral oil (e.g., vegetable or canola oil)
Instructions
Peel off the outer leaves of the cabbage, then cut it into quarters and remove the core. Thinly slice the cabbage into shreds.
Peel the carrot and julienne it into thin matchstick-like strips.
Heat the neutral oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the grated ginger and minced garlic to the pan, stirring frequently for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Stir in the shredded cabbage and julienned carrot. Cook for 5–6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage wilts and turns slightly tender but still has a bit of crunch.
In a small bowl, whisk together the sesame oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and honey (or sugar) until well combined.
Pour the sauce mixture over the cabbage and carrots in the pan. Stir well to evenly coat the vegetables and cook for another 2–3 minutes.
Turn off the heat and toss in the chopped scallions.
Transfer the cooked cabbage to a serving dish and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds for added texture and flavor.
Serve warm as a side dish or over steamed rice for a complete meal.
