Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 whole garlic cloves
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger
  • 1 whole small green cabbage
  • 1 whole large carrot
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
  • 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • 2 whole green onions

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing your ingredients. Finely mince the garlic cloves and grate the fresh ginger. Shred the cabbage finely. Peel the carrot and slice it into thin matchsticks. Chop the green onions into small pieces.

Step 2

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 3

Add the shredded cabbage to the skillet, tossing well to combine with the garlic and ginger. Cook for 3 minutes, stirring frequently.

Step 4

Add the carrot matchsticks to the skillet and continue to stir-fry for another 3 to 5 minutes, or until the cabbage is wilted but still retains some crunch and the carrots are tender-crisp.

Step 5

Pour in 2 tablespoons of low-sodium soy sauce and 1 teaspoon of sesame oil. Stir everything together to ensure the vegetables are well-coated in the sauce.

Step 6

Season the stir-fry with 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper and a pinch of red pepper flakes for heat. Adjust these to taste.

Step 7

Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds over the stir-fry and mix well.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from heat. Garnish with the chopped green onions.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy your low-carb cabbage and carrot stir-fry!
