Step-by-Step Instructions for Asian Cabbage Stir Fry
  1. Begin by washing and preparing the vegetables for your Asian Cabbage Stir Fry. Slice the cabbage into thin ribbons, cut the bell pepper into strips, julienne the carrot, and finely slice the green onions.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, sugar, and black pepper. Mix until the sugar dissolves completely and the ingredients are well blended.
  3. Using a large wok or skillet, pour in about two tablespoons of vegetable oil and heat it over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  4. Add the minced garlic and ginger to the pan. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Add the sliced bell pepper and julienned carrot to the pan. Stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes until they start to soften.
  6. Fold in the sliced cabbage into the mix. Stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes, allowing the cabbage to wilt slightly while maintaining its crunch.
  7. Drizzle the prepared sauce evenly over the stir-frying vegetables. Toss everything together gently for a minute or two.
  8. Continue to stir-fry for another 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld further.
  9. Remove the stir fry from heat and transfer it to a serving dish. Top with the sliced green onions and a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds.
  10. Serve your vibrant Asian Cabbage Stir Fry hot, either as a delightful side or a standalone main course.
