Cabbage and Pepper Stir Fry

Ingredients

• Sesame oil (2 tablespoons)
• Garlic (2 cloves, minced)
• Ginger (1 tablespoon, grated)
• Cabbage (4 cups, thinly sliced)
• Bell peppers (2, sliced (any color or a mix))
• Soy sauce (3 tablespoons)
• Rice vinegar (1 tablespoon)
• Honey (1 tablespoon)
• Salt (to taste)

Instructions

1. Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
2. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
3. Add the sliced cabbage and bell peppers to the skillet. Stir fry for 5-7 minutes, until the vegetables are tender-crisp, ensuring they maintain their vibrant color.
4. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper to create the stir fry sauce.
5. Pour the sauce over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet and toss to coat evenly.
6. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and coat the vegetables.
7. Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
8. Serve hot as a flavorful side dish or over steamed rice for a complete meal.
