Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 4 cups shredded cabbage
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, finely grated

Oils and Sauces

  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium preferred)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Wash and shred the cabbage finely, and grate the fresh ginger to have it ready for cooking.
  2. Heat Sesame Oil: In a large skillet or wok, warm the sesame oil over medium heat until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
  3. Sauté Ginger: Add the grated ginger to the hot oil and sauté for about 30 seconds to release its aroma, being careful not to burn it.
  4. Cook Cabbage: Add the shredded cabbage to the skillet and toss well to coat with the sesame oil and ginger mixture. Cook, stirring frequently, for about 5-7 minutes or until cabbage is tender but still slightly crisp.
  5. Add Soy Sauce: Pour in the soy sauce and toss everything together to evenly distribute the flavor. Cook for another 1-2 minutes to let the flavors meld.
  6. Serve: Remove from heat and serve warm as a side dish with your favorite main courses.

Notes

  • Use fresh ginger for the best flavor; ground ginger will not provide the same freshness.
  • You can add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a spicy kick if desired.
  • Serve this dish immediately for the best texture, as cabbage can release water and become soggy if left sitting.
  • Low sodium soy sauce is recommended to keep the sodium content moderate.
  • This dish pairs well with rice, noodles, or grilled proteins.
