Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 medium garlic cloves
• 1 medium head green cabbage
• 1 large carrot
• 1 medium red bell pepper
• 3 medium scallions
• 3 tablespoons coconut aminos
• 0.5 teaspoons ground ginger
• 0.5 teaspoons sea salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing all the vegetables. Thinly slice the garlic cloves. Remove the core from the cabbage and thinly slice it into shreds. Peel and julienne the carrot. Seed and slice the red bell pepper into thin strips. Slice the scallions into 1-inch pieces, separating the white and green parts.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and swirl to coat the pan.

Step 3

Once the oil is hot, add the sliced garlic and the white parts of the scallions. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.

Step 4

Add the sliced cabbage, carrot, and red bell pepper to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are slightly softened but still retain a little crunch.

Step 5

Drizzle in the coconut aminos and sprinkle with ground ginger, sea salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together until well combined and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

Step 6

Remove the skillet from heat and garnish the stir-fry with the green parts of the scallions and sesame seeds.

Step 7

Serve the cabbage stir-fry immediately, enjoying it as a standalone meal or with a serving of your choice of protein to enhance the dish.
