Cabbage and Peanut Stir Fry

Ingredients

Green onions

2, sliced

Cooking oil

2 tablespoons

Salt

1/2 teaspoon

Red pepper flakes

1 teaspoon (adjust to taste)

Sesame oil

1 tablespoon

Soy sauce

3 tablespoons

Fresh ginger

1 tablespoon, minced

Garlic

3 cloves, minced

Peanuts

1/2 cup, roughly chopped

Cabbage

4 cups, shredded (green or napa cabbage works well)

Instructions

1. Heat the cooking oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering.
2. Add the minced garlic and ginger, stirring for about 1 minute until fragrant, ensuring they don't burn.
3. Add the shredded cabbage to the skillet, stirring continuously for 5-7 minutes until it begins to soften but still retains some crunch.
4. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, red pepper flakes, and salt until well combined.
5. Pour the sauce over the cabbage mixture and stir to coat evenly, cooking for another 2-3 minutes to let the flavors meld.
6. Gently fold in the chopped peanuts and cook for an additional minute to warm them through.
7. Remove from heat and garnish with the sliced green onions before serving.
8. Enjoy your stir fry hot, either as a standalone dish or paired with rice or noodles!
