Ingredients
0.5head of cabbagesliced into roughly 2cm / 1 inch pieces
2clovesgarlicminced, pressed or mashed
1tablespoongrated ginger
2tablespoonssoy sauce
1tablespoonsesame oil
2tablespoonsvegetable oilfor frying
2teaspoonssesame seedsmixed colors if available
Instructions
Cut the cabbage by cutting the head in half, and then each half into a quarter. Slice each quarter lengthwise 2-3 times, and then along the short edge another 2-3 times.
Toss the cabbage in a bowl with all the other ingredients and rub everything together with your hands for a minute or so until you feel the fibers in the cabbage relax and soften. Then the cabbage is ready to fry.
Heat the vegetable oil in a wok or skillet over high heat.
Once the oil is hot (slightly rippling but not so hot that it's popping) toss the cabbage in being careful of any splashback. Stir the cabbage frequently, sautéing for about 5 minutes or until fully softened and starting to turn a bit translucent.
Serve hot or cold, garnished with more sesame seeds if you like.
