Ingredients
- 1 head (medium) Green cabbage
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 inch (peeled) Fresh ginger
- 3 pieces Dried red chilies
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 stalks Green onions
Directions
Step 1
Cut the cabbage into thin shreds approximately 1/4 inch wide. Discard the core.
Step 2
Mince the garlic and ginger. Slice the green onions thinly, keeping the white and green parts separate.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, and sesame oil. Set aside.
Step 4
Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil.
Step 5
Once the oil is hot, add the dried red chilies and stir-fry for 20-30 seconds until aromatic. Be careful not to burn them.
Step 6
Add the minced garlic, ginger, and the white parts of the green onions. Stir-fry for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 7
Increase the heat to high, then add the shredded cabbage and salt. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the cabbage starts to wilt but still retains some crunch.
Step 8
Pour the soy sauce mixture over the cabbage and toss to combine evenly. Stir-fry for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Step 9
Remove from heat and sprinkle the green parts of the green onions on top as garnish.
