Tonight's the night to enjoy the comforting flavors of Chao Cabbage, a quick and healthy stir-fry that captures the essence of family home cooking!

1

Start by cleaning and chopping the cabbage into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.

2

Peel and mince the garlic cloves.

3

Heat a large pan or wok over medium-high heat, and add the 2 tablespoons of oil. Allow the oil to heat up for about 1 minute until shimmering.

4

Add the minced garlic to the hot oil and sauté for 30 seconds until it becomes fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

5

Add the chopped cabbage to the pan, stirring continuously for about 5-7 minutes until it begins to wilt and soften.

6

Pour in 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of pepper. Mix well to ensure the cabbage is evenly coated with the seasonings.

7

Continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally until the cabbage is tender yet still vibrant in color.

8

Remove from heat and transfer the stir-fried cabbage to a serving dish.

9

If desired, garnish with sesame seeds or sliced green onions for added flavor before serving.

• Add sliced bell peppers or carrots for additional color and crunch.
• Incorporate protein such as tofu or shrimp for a heartier dish.
• Experiment with different sauces like oyster sauce or chili garlic sauce for varied flavors.

• For an extra flavor kick, add a splash of vinegar or lime juice before serving.
• Make sure to cut the cabbage evenly for uniform cooking.
• Using a high smoke point oil like vegetable or canola will achieve the best results when stir-frying.
