Ingredients

• 1 medium head Green cabbage
• 1 large Carrot
• 1 Red bell pepper
• 3 stalks Green onions
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 1 inch piece Fresh ginger
• 2 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the vegetables. Shred the cabbage finely. Peel the carrot and slice it into thin matchsticks. Deseed the red bell pepper and slice it thinly. Cut the green onions into small rounds.

Step 2

Mince the garlic cloves and grate the ginger. Set these aromatics aside.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn them.

Step 5

Add the sliced carrots and red bell peppers to the pan, and stir-fry for about 2 minutes until they begin to soften.

Step 6

Next, add the shredded cabbage to the pan. Stir everything together to combine.

Step 7

Pour in the low-sodium soy sauce and rice vinegar. Stir well to cover all the vegetables with the sauce.

Step 8

Continue to stir-fry the vegetables for another 3-5 minutes, until the cabbage is tender-crisp.

Step 9

Reduce the heat to low. Drizzle the sesame oil over the vegetables and add black pepper to taste. Mix well.

Step 10

Transfer the stir-fry to a serving dish, garnish with the sliced green onions and sesame seeds.

Step 11

Serve immediately as a side dish or light entrée.
