Ingredients:
- 1 medium-sized green cabbage, shredded
- 4 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (or any preferred cooking oil)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 small onion, finely sliced
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce (optional)
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil (optional)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional, for a bit of heat)
- 2 green onions, finely chopped (for garnish)
- Fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Ingredients: Shred the cabbage into thin strips, mince the garlic, and slice the onion. Beat the eggs in a separate bowl and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Heat the Oil: In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the minced garlic and sliced onion. Sauté until fragrant and the onions turn translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
- Cook the Cabbage: Add the shredded cabbage to the skillet. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until the cabbage softens but still retains some crunch. Season with a pinch of salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes if you like a hint of spice.
- Scramble the Eggs: Push the cabbage mixture to one side of the skillet, creating space for the eggs. Pour the beaten eggs into the open space, and scramble gently until almost fully cooked. Mix the eggs with the cabbage once they’re set but still a bit soft.
- Season and Garnish: Drizzle with soy sauce and a touch of sesame oil for extra flavor. Toss everything together for another 1-2 minutes. Adjust seasoning as needed.
- Serve: Transfer the stir-fried cabbage and eggs to a serving plate. Garnish with chopped green onions and fresh herbs. Enjoy warm as a main dish or a side!
