cabbage and sesame stir-fry
Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Cooking Time: 5 minutes
Serves: 4
Ingredients
450g cabbage (any kind or a mix of leaves including kale and pak choi)
1 tbsp light oil
1 clove of garlic
2cm (1in) piece of fresh root ginger
2 tsp soy sauce
2 tsp runny honey
1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
Frequently overcooked, cabbage is best eaten raw or cooked until only just tender. Studies show that eating cabbage more than once a week can reduce the likelihood of some cancers by as much as 65%.
Stir-frying is a quick method of cooking that retains much of the vitamins and nutrients that are lost during boiling.
1. Chop the garlic and peel and chop the root ginger. Finely shred the cabbage leaves.
2. Heat the oil in a wok or heavy based pan then saute the garlic and ginger for just one minute. Add the cabbage and stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until just tender.
3. Stir in the soy sauce and honey and cook for 1 minute. Sprinkle with the toasted sesame seeds and serve.
