Ingredients

• 1 medium head green cabbage
• 1 medium carrot
• 1 medium green bell pepper
• 2 cloves garlic
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 0.25 cup vegetable broth
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon ginger
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 2 stalks scallions

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing your vegetables: Slice the cabbage into thin shreds, peel and julienne the carrot, and slice the green bell pepper into thin strips. Mince the garlic and thinly slice the scallions.

Step 2

Heat a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium heat and add the teaspoon of olive oil.

Step 3

Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and grated ginger, stir-frying for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 4

Increase the heat to medium-high and add the cabbage, carrot, and green bell pepper to the skillet. Stir well to combine the vegetables with the garlic and ginger.

Step 5

Pour the vegetable broth over the veggies and continue to stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes, or until the cabbage starts to soften.

Step 6

Add the soy sauce, black pepper, and red pepper flakes to the skillet. Stir well to ensure all vegetables are evenly coated.

Step 7

Continue cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the vegetables reach your desired level of tenderness.

Step 8

Once cooked, remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the sesame seeds over the stir fry.

Step 9

Garnish with sliced scallions before serving. Serve hot as a side dish or over rice for a complete meal.
