Garlic Stir-Fried Cabbage
A quick and healthy vegetarian side dish featuring tender cabbage leaves sautéed with aromatic garlic and dried red chilies.
Story
This simple stir-fry highlights the natural sweetness of cabbage. The key is to tear the leaves by hand rather than cutting them, which creates more texture and helps the sauce cling better.
Ingredients
Green cabbage
1 small head
Garlic cloves
3, minced
Dried red chilies
3, cut into rings
Vegetable oil
2 tbsp
Salt
1/2 tsp
Instructions
1
Prepare the Cabbage
Wash the cabbage leaves thoroughly and shake off excess water. Remove the hard white stems and tear the green leaves into large, bite-sized pieces by hand.
2
Sauté Aromatics
Heat the vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chili rings, stir-frying gently until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
3
Stir-Fry the Cabbage
Toss in the torn cabbage leaves. Increase the heat to high and stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes until the leaves are wilted but still slightly crisp. Season with salt and serve immediately.
