Ingredients

• 1 medium head Green cabbage
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce, reduced sodium
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 2 stalks Green onions
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing your vegetables. Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage, then cut the cabbage in half and core it. Slice it thinly to create shreds.

Step 2

Mince the garlic cloves finely and set aside.

Step 3

Slice the green onions thinly; keep the white and green parts separate.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil.

Step 5

Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and the white parts of the green onions. Stir-fry for 1 minute until they are fragrant.

Step 6

Add the shredded cabbage to the pan, stirring constantly, so it cooks evenly.

Step 7

Pour in the reduced sodium soy sauce and rice vinegar. Stir-fry the cabbage in the sauce for about 5-6 minutes or until it reaches your desired level of tenderness.

Step 8

Add the sesame oil, salt, and black pepper to the pan. Stir well to combine and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 9

Turn off the heat and add the sliced green parts of the green onions.

Step 10

Transfer the stir-fried cabbage to a serving dish and sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving.

Step 11

Serve immediately as a side dish or light vegetarian main course.
