Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 cups green cabbage, thinly sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Ingredients: Thinly slice the cabbage, chop the green onions, mince the garlic, and grate the ginger, so everything is ready before cooking.
  2. Heat the Pan and Add Oil: Heat vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the garlic and ginger, stirring frequently to release their fragrant aromas without burning.
  3. Cook the Cabbage: Add the sliced cabbage to the pan and stir-fry for 3 to 5 minutes until it starts to soften but remains crisp and vibrant.
  4. Add Soy Sauce and Sesame Oil: Pour in the soy sauce and sesame oil. Toss to allow the cabbage to absorb the savory, nutty flavors evenly.
  5. Finish With Green Onions and Seasoning: Sprinkle chopped green onions and optional chili flakes over the stir fry. Toss quickly, then remove from heat to maintain freshness and crunch.

Notes

  • High heat is key to keep the cabbage crisp and vibrant.
  • Don’t overcrowd the pan—leave enough space for even cooking and to prevent steaming.
  • Prep all ingredients in advance for smooth, fast stir-frying.
  • Use a large pan or wok to allow easy stirring and prevent sogginess.
  • Adjust seasoning at the end to taste, adding more soy sauce or chili flakes if desired.
