Description

A quick and delicious Stir-Fried Cabbage with Egg recipe that combines tender cabbage with scrambled eggs, flavored with garlic, soy sauce, and a hint of rice vinegar. This easy-to-make dish is perfect as a side or a light meal, offering a savory and slightly tangy flavor profile with optional garnishes for added texture and spice.


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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  • Use a wok or a large skillet to ensure even cooking and ease of stirring.
  • Serve as a side dish or over steamed rice for a complete meal.
