Ingredients
- 0.5 head of cabbage sliced into roughly 2cm / 1 inch pieces
- 2 cloves garlic minced, pressed or mashed
- 1 tablespoon grated ginger
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil for frying
- 2 teaspoons sesame seeds mixed 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.
