Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 Green Cabbage
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp White Pepper
  • 1 clove Garlic
  • 1 tsp Neutral Oil

Instructions
 

  • Chop the cabbage into bite-sized pieces.
  • Finely slice the garlic.
  • 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.
  • Serve and enjoy!
