This colorful cabbage stir-fry turns a basic veggie into something amazing. You'll get mouthfuls of soft cabbage strips, airy egg scramble, and snappy carrot sticks, all wrapped in a tasty Asian-style sauce.

The real wow factor comes when cabbage browns in the hot pan, soaking up all that yummy sauce while staying perfectly crisp-tender. It shows how everyday ingredients can make unforgettable dinners.

Main Components

  • Green Cabbage: Go for a solid, weighty head with snappy leaves and zero brown spots
  • Farm Eggs: Let your eggs sit at room temp for extra fluffiness
  • Fresh Carrots: Look for stiff, vibrant ones that'll give you that nice snap
  • Aromatics: Raw garlic and onions create your flavor foundation
  • Asian Sauces: Good light soy, dark soy and oyster sauce add richness

Preparation Approach

Getting Ready:
Slice cabbage into skinny, consistent strips. Cut carrots into matchsticks and dice onions small.
Egg Method:
Cook eggs just until they start setting to keep them soft.
Beginning the Fry:
Get wok super hot until it smokes. Pour oil in small amounts to keep heat up. Begin with onions and garlic.
Putting in Veggies:
Cook greens and carrots in small portions. Wait for that loud sizzling sound. Never stop stirring.
Adding Flavor:
Drizzle sauces near the pan sides for instant browning. Mix everything to cover completely.
Wrapping Up:
Put eggs in at the end, mixing carefully to blend.

What you hear when food hits your hot wok tells you everything you need to know about good stir-frying.

Time Framework

Your cabbage should look see-through but still have some bite. Aim to finish cooking in about 6-7 minutes for the best result.

Serving Style

Dish it up hot with scallions on top. You should see steam coming off the plate when served.

Alternatives

Try adding some sesame oil for a toasty flavor or chili oil for heat. Any extra stuff you throw in should make existing tastes even better.

Keeping Leftovers

Store in the fridge in tight containers for up to 4 days. Get the crunch back by warming in a super hot skillet.
