Asian Cabbage Stir Fry is a quick and vibrant dish featuring crisp-tender cabbage, aromatic garlic and ginger, and a savory sauce. Perfect as a light main course or a flavorful side, it comes together in under 30 minutes.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil or sesame oil
  • 4 cups green cabbage, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium carrot, julienned
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat the oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, stirring for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Add the sliced cabbage and julienned carrot. Stir fry for 4–6 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are tender but still slightly crisp.
  4. In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, oyster sauce if using, rice vinegar, and sugar. Stir until well mixed.
  5. Pour the sauce over the cabbage mixture and toss to coat evenly.
  6. Cook for another 2–3 minutes, allowing the flavors to blend and the sauce to slightly reduce.
  7. Season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if desired.
  8. Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.

Notes

  • Omit oyster sauce or use a vegetarian alternative to keep the dish vegetarian or vegan.
  • Add bell peppers, snow peas, or mushrooms for extra texture and color.
  • For added protein, stir in cooked chicken, shrimp, beef, or tofu.
  • Serve over steamed rice or noodles for a more filling meal.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat gently in a skillet.
