Directions
The preparation is very straightforward. Peel your sweetheart cabbage and then cut it into pieces as shown below. Dice your garlic into small pieces and you’re ready to cook!
Heat the wok to a pretty high temperature and add some cooking oil. The secret to cooking cabbage stir fry is that you need a high heat for a very short amount of time. It’s a really quick dish to make, I can’t emphasise that enough…
First in is the garlic. Give it a stir and wait for it ti start changing colour.
Next is the cabbage. Give it a stir for a few seconds..
Now we add the fish sauce. This is a very important part here. We don’t just put it on the cabbage we run it around the edge of the wok. This will give it much more flavour.
A pinch of black pepper and you’re done..
Turn off the heat and tip the cabbage onto a plate while it is still crispy. You don’t want to cook it until it goes soggy!! And there you have it… Thai cabbage stir fry. So simple and yet so tasty. All you need is some jasmine rice to go along with it!
