Quick Spicy Cabbage Dish (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
1 tablespoon olive oil, high-quality
02 -
1 teaspoon chili flakes
03 -
3 minced garlic cloves
04 -
Salt as needed
05 -
4 cups chopped fresh cabbage
06 -
½ teaspoon cumin (optional but adds a nice flavor)
07 -
1 tablespoon tamari sauce (and more if desired)
08 -
1 tablespoon smoked paprika (add extra for heat lovers)
# Instructions:
01 -
Trim off any old outer leaves and rinse the cabbage well. Slice it in half, core it by removing the hard center, then chop into thin strips on a cutting board with the flat side facing down for control.
02 -
Set a big frying pan on medium to high heat and warm up the olive oil. Stir in the cabbage strips with the paprika, making sure to stir frequently so the spice gets evenly coated over the pieces. Cook for about 3–4 minutes.
03 -
Mix in the tamari sauce, garlic, and chili flakes. Toss it all around and cook for another 2–3 minutes. Let the flavors soak into the cabbage, but don’t overcook—it should stay a bit crunchy.
04 -
Have a quick taste test. Add more tamari, an extra hint of spice, or a sprinkle of salt if needed to balance the flavor to your liking.
05 -
Enjoy the cabbage dish while it’s still nice and warm. It’s great as a side dish alongside proteins or with some rice!
