• 1 tablespoon (minced) Ginger
• 1 teaspoon Red chili flakes

📝 Instructions

11 steps

1. Core and thinly slice the cabbage into manageable bite-sized shreds.

2. Peel and mince the garlic and ginger. Set them aside.

3. Thinly slice the green onions, if using, and reserve them for garnish.

4. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Set this sauce aside.

5. Heat a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil and allow it to heat up until shimmering.

6. Add the minced garlic, ginger, and red chili flakes to the wok. Stir-fry for 30 seconds, or until fragrant, being careful not to burn them.

7. Add the sliced cabbage to the wok and toss to combine with the aromatics. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes, until the cabbage starts to soften but retains some crunch.

8. Drizzle the soy sauce mixture over the cabbage and toss well to coat evenly. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently.

9. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Adjust the heat by adding more chili flakes if desired.

10. Remove from heat and transfer the cooked cabbage to a serving dish. Garnish with sliced green onions, if using.

11. Serve warm as a side dish or over steamed rice as a light main course.
