A quick, affordable, and nutritious stir-fry featuring fresh green cabbage and fluffy scrambled eggs, perfect for a wholesome spring dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 small head green cabbage (about 4 cups shredded)
  • 3 large eggs, beaten
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari/coconut aminos for gluten-free)
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (can substitute with canola or avocado oil)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Optional: pinch of red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Prepare the ingredients: rinse and shred cabbage into ¼-inch wide strips, mince garlic, slice green onions thinly, and beat eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  2. Heat a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add vegetable oil; heat until shimmering (about 1-2 minutes).
  3. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant and golden, stirring constantly to avoid burning.
  4. Add shredded cabbage and stir frequently, cooking for 5-7 minutes until tender but still slightly crisp. Add 1-2 tablespoons of water if pan feels dry to help steam the cabbage.
  5. Pour in soy sauce and sprinkle black pepper; stir to coat evenly. Add red pepper flakes if desired.
  6. Push cabbage to one side of the pan and pour beaten eggs into the empty space. Let sit undisturbed for 20 seconds, then gently scramble and gradually mix eggs into the cabbage until soft and creamy (3-4 minutes).
  7. Drizzle toasted sesame oil over the stir-fry and toss in sliced green onions. Stir well and remove from heat.
  8. Serve immediately while hot.

Notes

Use a non-stick skillet for easier cooking and cleanup. Avoid overcooking eggs to keep them soft and creamy. If cabbage browns too quickly, reduce heat. For gluten-free, substitute soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos. Optional red pepper flakes add heat. Cook in batches if pan is overcrowded.
