A quick, healthy, and flavor-packed dinner option. This Spicy Cabbage Stir-Fry transforms humble cabbage into a mouthwatering meal that's both budget-friendly and packed with nutrients.
Ingredients
- 1 medium head of cabbage chopped into bite-sized pieces
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger grated
- 2-3 Thai chilies sliced (adjust to taste)
- 2 carrots julienned
- 1 red bell pepper sliced
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- Green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Start by heating your wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add vegetable oil.
- Add minced garlic, ginger, and Thai chilies. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Toss in the carrots and bell peppers. Cook for 2-3 minutes until they start to soften.
- Add the chopped cabbage in batches, stirring frequently. Don't worry if it seems like too much – it will cook down significantly.
- Once all cabbage is added, pour in soy sauce and rice vinegar. Keep stir-frying for 5-7 minutes until the cabbage is crisp-tender.
- Remove from heat, drizzle with sesame oil, and garnish with green onions.
