Instructions

1. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
2. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet, sautéing them until they release their aromatic fragrances, about 1 minute.
3. Introduce the shredded cabbage, julienned red bell pepper, and carrot to the skillet. Stir-fry these vibrant vegetables for 5-7 minutes, until they reach a tender-crisp state.
4. While the vegetables are cooking, prepare the sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, and Sriracha sauce until well blended.
5. Pour the sweet and spicy sauce over the stir-fried vegetables, ensuring an even coating. Allow the dish to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, enabling the vegetables to soak up the flavors of the sauce.
6. Season the dish with salt to taste.
7. Remove the skillet from heat, and garnish your Sweet and Spicy Cabbage Stir Fry with a sprinkling of sliced green onions and sesame seeds for an additional crunch and pop of flavor.
8. Serve this dish hot as a side dish with your favorite main course. The bold flavors and crisp texture make it a great accompaniment to grilled meats or tofu.
