Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head Green cabbage
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 inch piece Fresh ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Coconut aminos
- 2 sliced Green onions
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
Instructions
Begin by preparing your ingredients: thinly slice the cabbage, mince the garlic cloves, peel and grate the ginger, and slice the green onions.
In a large skillet or wok, heat the coconut oil over medium-high heat until melted and hot.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet, stirring constantly for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Increase the heat to high and add the sliced cabbage. Stir continuously for about 5 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender-crisp and starts to brown slightly.
Sprinkle the red pepper flakes, sea salt, and black pepper over the cabbage, stirring to combine.
Pour the coconut aminos over the cabbage and continue to cook for another 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Remove the skillet from the heat. Toss the sliced green onions and sesame seeds with the cabbage.
Transfer the stir-fried cabbage to a serving dish. Serve hot as a side dish to your favorite Whole30-compliant main course.
