Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Green cabbage
- 2 medium Carrots
- 1 large Red bell pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 3 stalks Green onions
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
Instructions
Thinly slice the green cabbage into shreds and set aside.
Peel and julienne the carrots into thin matchstick pieces.
Core and thinly slice the red bell pepper into strips.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the hot oil, stirring until fragrant (about 30 seconds).
Add the shredded cabbage, carrots, and red bell pepper to the skillet. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften but still retain some crunch.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the warm vegetables in the skillet. Toss to coat evenly, cooking for an additional 2 minutes to combine flavors.
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the warm cabbage salad to a serving dish.
Chop the green onions and sprinkle them on top of the salad along with sesame seeds for garnish.
Serve immediately while the salad is warm. Enjoy!
