Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head green cabbage
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon ginger
- 1 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
Instructions
Remove any damaged outer leaves from the cabbage and wash thoroughly. Cut the cabbage into thin strips and set aside.
Mince the garlic and grate the ginger.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant.
Stir in the red chili flakes, paprika, and turmeric powder. Cook for 30 seconds to bloom the spices.
Increase the heat to medium-high. Add the sliced cabbage to the skillet and toss to coat the cabbage in the spice mixture.
Drizzle the soy sauce over the cabbage and stir well. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage softens but still retains some crunch.
Season with salt and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed.
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the spicy cabbage to a serving dish.
Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve warm.
