Ingredients
- 1 medium head (about 2 pounds) Green cabbage
- 2 medium Carrots
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 tablespoon (freshly grated) Ginger
- 3 tablespoons Coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 1 cup (shredded or diced) Cooked chicken (optional, for protein addition)
- 2 stalks Green onions
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Avocado oil
Directions
Step 1
Prepare the vegetables: Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage, then halve and core it. Thinly slice the cabbage into strips. Peel and julienne the carrots. Mince the garlic and prepare freshly grated ginger.
Step 2
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat, then add the avocado oil.
Step 3
Once the oil is shimmering, add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Stir frequently and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 4
Add the sliced cabbage and carrots to the skillet. Stir to coat the vegetables in the oil, garlic, and ginger mixture.
Step 5
Continue cooking the vegetables for 5-7 minutes, stirring often, until the cabbage softens and just begins to caramelize.
Step 6
Pour in the coconut aminos and sesame oil. Stir well to evenly distribute the sauce.
Step 7
If using cooked chicken, add it now and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.
Step 8
Season with salt and black pepper to taste, and give everything a final toss.
Step 9
Garnish with thinly sliced green onions before serving. Serve hot as a side dish or a main course.
