Ingredients
- 1 medium head green cabbage
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 3 stalks green onions
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage and slice in half. Cut out the core and slice the cabbage into thin 1/4-inch strips.
Step 2
Peel and mince the garlic cloves. Grate the fresh ginger using a fine grater. Slice the green onions into thin rounds, separating the white and green parts.
Step 3
In a large pan or wok, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Step 4
Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and the white parts of the green onions to the pan. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant, ensuring they do not burn.
Step 5
Add the sliced cabbage to the pan. Stir well to coat the cabbage evenly with the garlic and ginger.
Step 6
Drizzle the low-sodium soy sauce and rice vinegar over the cabbage. Sprinkle the red pepper flakes and black pepper on top.
Step 7
Stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes until the cabbage is tender-crisp. Adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Step 8
Remove the pan from heat. Garnish with the green parts of the green onions and sprinkle the sesame seeds over the top.
Step 9
Serve immediately as a side dish or simple main course. Enjoy your heart-healthy stir-fried cabbage!
