Ingredients

• 1 small head cabbage
• 2 medium carrots
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 inch piece ginger
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 3 stalks green onions
• 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the vegetables: shred the cabbage finely and peel and julienne the carrots into thin strips.

Step 2

Mince the garlic and ginger finely. Thinly slice the green onions, keeping the white and green parts separate.

Step 3

In a large wok or skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and ginger, along with the white parts of the green onions and the red pepper flakes. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the shredded cabbage and julienned carrots to the wok. Stir-fry the vegetables for about 5-6 minutes until they start to soften but still retain some crunch.

Step 6

Pour the soy sauce and sesame oil over the vegetables, then add the salt and ground black pepper. Stir well to combine all the flavors, cooking for another 1-2 minutes.

Step 7

Remove the pan from heat, add the green parts of the sliced green onions, and give it a final stir.

Step 8

Serve the cabbage and carrot stir-fry hot, either as a side dish or a light main, over steamed rice or noodles if desired.
