Equipment

  • knife
  • cutting board
  • saute pan

Ingredients
  

Cabbage

  • 1/2 green cabbage (cut into 1-inch strips)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds

Sauce

  • 1 tablespoon garlic paste
  • 1 tablespoon ginger paste
  • 2 tablespoon gochujang sauce
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 2 scallions (cut into 1/2 inch strips)

Instructions
 

  • Mix Your Sauce: In a small bowl, stir together the garlic paste, ginger paste, gochujang, fish sauce, and rice vinegar. Set this bold, flavorful sauce aside so it’s ready to go when the cabbage is cooked.
  • Sauté the Cabbage: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or sauté pan over high heat. Add the cabbage and cook, stirring frequently, until it begins to soften and brown in spots—about 3 to 5 minutes. Pro Tip: Add ¼ cup of water while cooking to help steam the cabbage and speed things up. It’ll be crisp-tender and perfect!
  • Add the Sauce & Scallions:  Once the cabbage is just tender, pour in your prepared sauce and toss in the scallions. Stir well to coat every strip of cabbage in that delicious, spicy goodness. Cook for another 1–2 minutes until heated through and combined.
  • Garnish & Serve: Sprinkle with sesame seeds, let it cool slightly, and portion into our meal prep containers. It pairs perfectly with grilled proteins, a scoop of rice or quinoa, or wrapped in lettuce cups for a low-carb option.
