Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head Green cabbage
- 1 medium, finely sliced Onion
- 3 cloves, minced Garlic
- 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Chili flakes
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh cilantro
Instructions
Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage, cut it in half, and remove the core. Thinly slice the cabbage into shreds and set aside.
In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Add the sliced onions and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until they are softened and slightly translucent.
Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
Stir in the chili flakes, smoked paprika, and ground cumin, and cook for another 30 seconds to release the spices' aroma.
Increase the heat slightly, then add the shredded cabbage to the skillet. Stir well to coat the cabbage with the spices and oil.
Cook the cabbage for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it softens but still retains some crunch.
Add the soy sauce, salt, and black pepper, and mix thoroughly. Cook for another 1-2 minutes to allow the flavors to combine.
Remove from heat and drizzle the lime juice over the cabbage. Toss to distribute the citrusy flavor.
Transfer the spicy fried cabbage to a serving dish and garnish with the freshly chopped cilantro.
Serve immediately as a side dish or enjoy it on its own for a light, flavorful meal.
