Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head green cabbage
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 large, sliced garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 sliced green onions
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
Remove any damaged outer leaves from the cabbage, cut it in half, and remove the core. Thinly slice the cabbage into long shreds.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.
Add the sliced garlic to the skillet and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
Increase the heat to high and add the sliced cabbage to the skillet. Toss it quickly to coat well with oil and garlic.
Pour in the soy sauce and continue stir-frying for about 5 minutes, or until the cabbage begins to soften but still retains some crunchiness.
Add the sesame oil, sliced green onions, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine all the flavors.
Cook for an additional 2 minutes, then taste and adjust the seasonings if needed.
Remove from heat and serve immediately as a side dish to accompany your favorite main course.
