Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head Green cabbage
- 2 large Carrots
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 4 stalks Green onions
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Begin by preparing the vegetables. Shred the cabbage finely, peel the carrots and cut them into thin julienne strips, and thinly slice the red bell pepper.
Chop the green onions, including both the white and green parts. Mince the garlic cloves and grate the fresh ginger.
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce and sesame oil, and set aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large wok or a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the pan and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn them.
Add the carrots and red bell pepper to the pan and stir-fry for about 3 minutes until they start to soften.
Add the shredded cabbage and continue stir-frying, tossing the vegetables regularly for another 5 minutes, until the cabbage is tender but still crisp.
Pour the soy sauce and sesame oil mixture over the vegetables, toss well to coat all ingredients evenly.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste, adjusting the seasoning if necessary.
Add the chopped green onions and sesame seeds, giving everything a quick toss just before removing from heat.
Transfer the stir-fry to a serving dish and enjoy hot, either as a standalone meal or as a side dish.
