Ingredients
  

  • 3 Tbsp avocado oil
  • 1/2 medium-sized yellow onion sliced
  • 1 head green cabbage sliced
  • 4 large cloves garlic minced
  • 1 Tbsp fresh ginger peeled and grated
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 3 Tbsp liquid aminos or coconut aminos to taste
  • 2 large carrots grated
  • 3 stalks green onion chopped

Equipment

  • Cutting board
  • Sharp knife
  • Large skillet or wok
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. Start by slicing your yellow onion and green cabbage. Grate the carrots and mince the garlic and ginger. Having everything ready to go will make the cooking process smooth and quick.
  2. In a large skillet or wok, heat the avocado oil over medium-high heat. You want it hot enough to sauté but not smoking.
  3. Add the sliced onion to the hot oil and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until it becomes translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Next, add the sliced cabbage to the skillet, stirring well to combine. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the cabbage starts to wilt but still has a bit of crunch.
  5. Sprinkle in the ground cumin and pour in the liquid aminos or coconut aminos. Stir well to coat the vegetables in the flavorful sauce.
  6. Add the grated carrots and chopped green onions to the skillet, mixing everything together. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the carrots are tender but still vibrant.
  7. Remove the skillet from heat and serve your Cabbage Stir Fry hot. Enjoy it as a standalone dish or pair it with your favorite protein for a complete meal!
