Stir-fried cabbage, or *cu liu bao cai* in Chinese, is a quick, flavorful dish loved for its crunch and zesty tang. Mastering this recipe is simple with a few key steps.
First, prepare the ingredients: 1 medium cabbage (cored and shredded), 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 tbsp ginger (grated), 1 green onion (chopped), and 1 dried chili (optional for heat). For the sauce, mix 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp black vinegar, 1 tsp sugar, ½ tsp salt, and 1 tbsp water.
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a wok over high heat. Add garlic, ginger, and chili, stir-frying for 10 seconds until fragrant. Toss in the cabbage, stir-frying for 2–3 minutes until it wilts slightly but remains crisp. Pour in the sauce, stirring quickly to coat every leaf. Cook for 1 more minute until the sauce thickens.
Garnish with green onions and serve hot with rice. For extra flavor, add a pinch of white pepper or a drizzle of sesame oil before serving. This versatile dish balances sweet, sour, and savory notes, making it a perfect weeknight meal. Enjoy!
