Instructions
Remove the outer leaves and core of the cabbage. Shred the cabbage into thin strips using a knife or mandoline slicer.
Peel and julienne the carrot, mince the garlic, and grate the ginger.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil and sesame oil to the pan.
Once the oil is shimmering, add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the shredded cabbage and julienned carrot to the skillet. Toss well to combine with the garlic and ginger.
Stir-fry the vegetables for about 3–4 minutes until they start to soften but remain slightly crisp.
Drizzle in the soy sauce and rice vinegar. Stir well to coat the vegetables evenly.
Sprinkle in the crushed red pepper flakes and salt to taste. Continue stir-frying for another 2–3 minutes until the vegetables are tender but not overcooked.
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the stir fry to a serving dish.
Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish or pair with steamed rice or noodles for a light main course. Enjoy!
