Ingredients
Vegetables
- 1 medium head of cabbage, shredded
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Eggs
- 3 large eggs, beaten
Oils and Sauces
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (or sesame oil for extra flavor)
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
Seasonings
- ½ teaspoon sugar
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- Salt to taste
Optional Garnishes
- Chopped green onions
- Sesame seeds
- Chili flakes
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Shred the cabbage into thin strips and beat the eggs in a small bowl. Set both aside for use in the cooking process.
- Heat the Pan: Warm a large skillet or wok over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Once hot, pour in the beaten eggs and scramble them until fully cooked, about 2-3 minutes. Remove the scrambled eggs from the pan and set aside.
- Stir-Fry the Garlic and Cabbage: In the same pan, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil. Add the minced garlic and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then add the shredded cabbage and stir-fry for 5-7 minutes, until the cabbage is tender but retains a slight crunch.
- Season the Dish: Add soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, and ground black pepper to the cabbage. Stir well to combine, letting the flavors meld together by cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes.
- Combine the Eggs and Cabbage: Return the scrambled eggs to the pan and mix them thoroughly with the cabbage. Cook for 1-2 more minutes to ensure everything is heated through and well combined.
- Serve: Garnish optionally with chopped green onions, sesame seeds, or chili flakes. Serve the stir-fried cabbage with egg hot for a satisfying meal.
Notes
- You can substitute vegetable oil with sesame oil for a nuttier flavor.
- Adjust soy sauce and salt according to your taste preference.
- For a spicier variation, add chopped fresh chili or additional chili flakes.
