Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 1 medium Onion
• 1 head Cabbage
• 1 medium Carrot
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 200 grams Optional protein (shrimp, chicken, or pork, sliced thinly)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the ingredients: Mince the garlic, slice the onion thinly, chop the cabbage into bite-sized pieces, and julienne the carrot into thin strips.

Step 2

If using protein, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over medium heat. Add the protein (shrimp, chicken, or pork) and sauté until cooked. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Step 3

In the same pan, add more oil if needed, then sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the sliced onion and stir until translucent.

Step 4

Add the julienned carrots and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until slightly tender.

Step 5

Toss in the chopped cabbage and stir everything together. Cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the cabbage becomes tender but still slightly crisp.

Step 6

Drizzle the soy sauce over the vegetables and return the cooked protein (if used) to the pan. Stir to combine.

Step 7

Season with salt and black pepper to taste, adjusting as needed.

Step 8

Remove the pan from heat and transfer the Ginisang Repolyo to a serving plate. Serve warm with steamed rice.
