Step-by-Step Instructions for Asian Cabbage Stir Fry
  1. Heat a large wok or skillet over high heat until it starts to smoke (2-3 minutes). Add a couple of tablespoons of cooking oil.
  2. Add the minced garlic and freshly grated ginger to the hot oil. Stir them for about 30 seconds until aromatic and slightly golden.
  3. Toss in the thinly sliced cabbage and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until it wilts slightly but maintains some crunch.
  4. Pour in soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and sugar along with red pepper flakes. Stir continuously for about 2 minutes.
  5. Taste and adjust with lime juice or extra chili flakes for balance.
  6. Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
