Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head Cabbage
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil (or neutral oil)
- 0.5 teaspoons Red chili flakes (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 stalks Green onions (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage if they are wilted or damaged. Cut the cabbage in half, remove the core, and slice it thinly into shreds.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. If using green onions for garnish, chop them finely and set them aside.
Heat a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil and sesame oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
Add the shredded cabbage to the wok. Stir-fry for 3-5 minutes or until the cabbage starts to soften, but still retains a bit of crunch.
Add the soy sauce, red chili flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine and cook for another 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Remove the wok from heat. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Transfer the stir-fried cabbage to a serving dish. Garnish with chopped green onions if desired.
Serve warm as a side dish or alongside steamed rice for a simple meal.
