Ingredients

• 1 medium head Green cabbage
• 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 1 teaspoon Ginger
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Mirin
• 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
• 2 stalks Scallions

Directions

Step 1

Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage, then halve it and remove the core. Chop the cabbage into bite-sized pieces.

Step 2

Mince the garlic cloves and grate the ginger.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, mirin, brown sugar, cornstarch, and water to make the teriyaki sauce. Set aside.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add the sesame oil.

Step 5

Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the chopped cabbage to the skillet. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes, tossing frequently, until the cabbage is slightly tender but still crisp.

Step 7

Pour the prepared teriyaki sauce over the cabbage. Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and coats the cabbage evenly.

Step 8

Remove from heat and transfer the teriyaki cabbage to a serving dish.

Step 9

Garnish with sesame seeds and thinly sliced scallions before serving.

Step 10

Serve hot as a side dish or over steamed rice for a complete meal.
