Description

A delicious stir-fried dish featuring cabbage and eggs, perfect for a quick meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups shredded cabbage
  • 3 large eggs (can substitute with tofu for a vegan option)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (use low-sodium if watching salt intake)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced; fresh garlic packs the most punch)
  • 1 teaspoon ginger (freshly grated ginger elevates the dish’s flavor profile)
  • to taste green onions (sprinkle on top for freshness)
  • to taste sesame seeds (toasted seeds deepen the nutty flavor)

Instructions

  1. Heat the oil: In a large skillet or wok, warm 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  2. Sauté the cabbage: Add 4 cups of shredded cabbage to the hot pan and stir-fry for about 3-5 minutes until it’s tender and slightly wilted.
  3. Add aromatics: Toss in 2 minced garlic cloves and a teaspoon of grated ginger, stirring for about 30 seconds.
  4. Whisk the eggs: In a bowl, crack 3 large eggs and whisk until fully blended.
  5. Pour in the eggs: Push the cabbage mixture to one side of the pan and pour the whisked eggs into the other side. Let them cook undisturbed for about 1-2 minutes until they start to set before gently scrambling them together with the cabbage.
  6. Season generously: Drizzle in 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and sprinkle some salt and pepper to taste. Mix everything together thoroughly.

Notes

  • This dish can easily be tailored to suit vegan diets by substituting eggs with tofu.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables or proteins according to your preferences.
