Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head green cabbage
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 pieces garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 stalks scallions
Instructions
Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage and cut it in half. Core the cabbage and slice it into thin shreds.
Peel and mince the garlic cloves. Thinly slice the scallions and set them aside for garnish.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and let it warm up for 1 minute.
Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté for 30 seconds, stirring constantly to avoid burning.
Stir in the red chili flakes and paprika, cooking for another 30 seconds to release their aroma.
Add the shredded cabbage to the pan and toss it well to coat with the spicy oil mixture.
Cook the cabbage for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it softens and begins to caramelize around the edges.
Drizzle the soy sauce and apple cider vinegar over the cabbage, and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to blend the flavors together.
Remove the pan from heat and garnish the spicy sautéed cabbage with sliced scallions.
Serve immediately as a side dish or as part of a larger meal. Enjoy!
