Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head (medium, about 2 lbs) Green cabbage
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 1 inch piece (peeled and minced) Fresh ginger
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (low sodium)
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 2 stalks (sliced) Green onions
- 0.5 teaspoon (or to taste) Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon (freshly ground) Black pepper
Instructions
Start by preparing the cabbage. Remove the outer leaves if they are tough or wilted. Slice the cabbage in half, remove the core, and then slice the cabbage into thin strips.
Heat a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and swirl to coat the pan.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and ginger, stirring constantly until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add the sliced cabbage to the pan. Stir well to coat with the garlic and ginger. Cook, stirring frequently, for about 5-6 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender yet still crisp.
Stir in the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes. Toss everything together until the cabbage is evenly coated and the sauce is heated through, about 2 minutes.
Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish.
Garnish with sliced green onions before serving.
Serve hot as a side dish or a light main course.
