This simple stir fried cabbage recipe is super quick and easy to make with few ingredients. Budget friendly too, a perfect all round side dish for a dinner table or to enjoy with a beer.
Get the pan hot enough so that the cabbage will sizzle when you add it in.
Add the thicker pieces of cabbage to the pan and season with the salt and pepper.
Roughly every 20 seconds give the cabbage a stir. Letting the cabbage sit still helps build up the caramelisation. About two minutes in, add the leafier parts of the cabbage. Continue until the cabbage is cooked.
Transfer the stir fried cabbage onto a plate once it's finished cooking.
Add the oil to the hot pan and the sliced garlic cloves to infuse the oil. Fry until the garlic starts turning a golden brown.
Once your garlic is done, turn off the heat and add in the cabbage. Mix to combine the garlic oil and cabbage.
