Colorful Cabbage Stir Fry

Ingredients

Sesame oil

2 tablespoons

Garlic

3 cloves, minced

Onion

1 medium, thinly sliced

Bell peppers

2 medium, thinly sliced

Carrots

2 medium, julienned

Cabbage

1 medium, shredded

Soy sauce

1/4 cup

Rice vinegar

2 tablespoons

Honey

1 tablespoon

Salt

1/2 teaspoon

Pepper

1/2 teaspoon

Green onions

2, chopped for garnish

Sesame seeds

1 tablespoon, for garnish

Instructions

1. Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
2. Add the onion and garlic, sauté until they become aromatic and slightly golden, about 2 minutes.
3. Introduce the thinly sliced bell peppers and julienned carrots to the pan. Stir fry for 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.
4. Incorporate the shredded cabbage into the pan and continue to stir fry for an additional 3-4 minutes, until all vegetables are tender-crisp.
5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper to create your sauce.
6. Pour the prepared sauce over the stir-fried vegetables, ensuring they are evenly coated. Let it simmer for 1-2 minutes until the sauce has slightly thickened and absorbed by the vegetables.
7. Remove from heat. Garnish with a sprinkle of chopped green onions and a dash of sesame seeds for an added crunch.
8. Serve hot on its own for a light meal or pair it with steamed rice or noodles for a complete, satisfying course. Enjoy your culinary trip to Asia!
