Ingredients

• 1 head Savoy cabbage
• 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili flakes
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 stalks Green onions (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Remove any tough outer leaves from the Savoy cabbage. Cut the head into quarters, remove the core, and thinly slice the leaves into strips.

Step 2

Peel and finely mince the fresh ginger and garlic cloves.

Step 3

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Once the oil is hot, add the minced ginger and garlic. Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to let them burn.

Step 5

Add the sliced Savoy cabbage to the skillet, tossing to coat it in the oil, ginger, and garlic mixture.

Step 6

Drizzle the soy sauce and rice vinegar over the cabbage. Continue to stir-fry for 6-8 minutes until the cabbage is tender but still slightly crisp.

Step 7

Stir in the sesame oil, red chili flakes, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another minute to let the flavors combine.

Step 8

Remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish. Optionally, garnish with sliced green onions for an extra layer of flavor and presentation.

Step 9

Serve warm as a side dish or on its own with a bowl of steamed rice or crusty bread.
