Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head cabbage
- 1 large carrot
- 1 medium green bell pepper
- 2 stalks green onions
- 1 inch piece fresh ginger
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
Begin by preparing the vegetables. Core the cabbage and thinly slice it. Peel the carrot and julienne it into thin strips. Remove seeds from the green bell pepper and slice it into thin strips. Slice the green onions thinly, keeping the white and green parts separate.
Peel the ginger and finely grate it. Mince the garlic cloves.
In a large wok or frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the pan and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the sliced white parts of the green onions, carrot, and green bell pepper. Stir-fry for 3 minutes or until the vegetables start to soften.
Add the cabbage to the pan and continue to stir-fry for another 4–5 minutes, until the cabbage begins to wilt but still retains some crunch.
Pour in the soy sauce and sesame oil, and add the black pepper and salt. Stir everything together thoroughly so that the flavorings coat the vegetables evenly.
Continue to stir-fry for an additional minute until the mixture is well-heated and combined.
Remove from heat and transfer the stir fry to a serving dish.
Garnish with the green parts of the green onions and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds before serving.
