Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups shredded green cabbage
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground white or black pepper
Garnish (Optional)
- Chopped green onions
- Sesame seeds
Instructions
- Heat oil and garlic: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant, releasing its aroma.
- Cook cabbage: Add the shredded cabbage to the pan and stir-fry for 4–5 minutes until it becomes tender-crisp. Push the cabbage to one side of the pan to create space.
- Scramble eggs: Pour the beaten eggs into the empty space in the pan and scramble them until just cooked through. Then stir everything together evenly.
- Season and combine: Add soy sauce, optional sesame oil, salt, and pepper to the pan. Toss to combine all ingredients and cook for another minute to ensure the flavors meld and the dish is heated through.
- Garnish and serve: Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions or sesame seeds, if desired. Serve hot as a side dish or light main course.
Notes
- This dish is quick, budget-friendly, and pairs well with rice or noodles.
- You can add julienned carrots, onions, or bell peppers to enhance color and flavor.
- Use tamari instead of soy sauce to make this recipe gluten-free.
