• 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the vegetables. Shred the cabbage finely, peel the carrots and cut them into thin julienne strips, and thinly slice the red bell pepper.

Step 2

Chop the green onions, including both the white and green parts. Mince the garlic cloves and grate the fresh ginger.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce and sesame oil, and set aside.

Step 4

Heat the vegetable oil in a large wok or a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the pan and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn them.

Step 6

Add the carrots and red bell pepper to the pan and stir-fry for about 3 minutes until they start to soften.

Step 7

Add the shredded cabbage and continue stir-frying, tossing the vegetables regularly for another 5 minutes, until the cabbage is tender but still crisp.

Step 8

Pour the soy sauce and sesame oil mixture over the vegetables, toss well to coat all ingredients evenly.

Step 9

Season with salt and black pepper to taste, adjusting the seasoning if necessary.

Step 10

Add the chopped green onions and sesame seeds, giving everything a quick toss just before removing from heat.

Step 11

Transfer the stir-fry to a serving dish and enjoy hot, either as a standalone meal or as a side dish.
