Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head (about 6 cups shredded) Green cabbage
- 4 large, minced Garlic cloves
- 1 medium, finely sliced (optional, adjust to taste) Red chili
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons Fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 2 stalks, finely sliced Scallions
- 2 tablespoons, chopped (optional) Fresh cilantro
Instructions
Remove the tough outer leaves of the cabbage and thinly slice it into shreds. Wash and drain thoroughly.
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, fish sauce, and brown sugar until the sugar dissolves. Set aside.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil and let it heat up for 30 seconds.
Add the minced garlic and sliced chili to the hot oil. Stir-fry for 30 seconds to release the aroma, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Increase the heat to high and add the shredded cabbage to the skillet. Toss to coat the cabbage in the garlic and oil.
Pour the sauce mixture over the cabbage and stir-fry for 3-5 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender but still slightly crisp.
Remove from heat and stir in the lime juice and sliced scallions. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Transfer to a serving dish, garnish with fresh cilantro if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy!
