Ingredients

• Sesame oil (2 tablespoons)
• Garlic (3 cloves, minced)
• Fresh ginger (1 inch piece, minced)
• Cabbage (4 cups, shredded)
• Fresh spinach (4 cups, packed)
• Soy sauce (3 tablespoons)
• Black pepper (1/2 teaspoon)

Instructions

1. Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat until shimmering.
2. Add the minced garlic and ginger to the hot oil, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn them.
3. Stir in the shredded cabbage and cook for approximately 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is slightly softened but still retains a crunchy texture.
4. Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and continue to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring until the spinach has wilted and brightened in color.
5. Pour in the soy sauce, followed by the red pepper flakes, black pepper, and salt. Stir well to combine and cook for another 2 minutes, allowing all the flavors to meld beautifully.
6. Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions before serving hot. Enjoy this stir fry as a vibrant side dish or serve it over steamed rice for a complete and satisfying meal.
