Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium head green cabbage
- 2 medium carrot
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
- 0.25 cup coconut aminos
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 stalks green onions
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the vegetables. Slice the green cabbage into thin strips, about 1/4-inch thick. Peel and julienne the carrots. Core and thinly slice the red bell pepper. Mince the garlic cloves and grate the fresh ginger. Chop green onions for garnish, and set aside.
Step 2
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Step 3
Once the oil is shimmering, add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Stir quickly for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Step 4
Add the sliced cabbage, carrots, and red bell pepper to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Step 5
Pour the coconut aminos over the vegetables and sprinkle with sea salt and black pepper. Stir well to combine and allow the flavors to meld for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Step 6
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Step 7
Remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish. Garnish with chopped green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds before serving.
Step 8
Serve warm as a side dish or a light main course.
