Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons neutral cooking oil such as avocado
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 8 cups napa cabbage, chopped into bite-sized pieces
  • 3 tablespoons dry sherry (or 3 tablespoons vegetable broth plush 1 teaspoon rice vinegar)
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 scallions, chopped
  • Sesame seeds, preferably toasted, for garnish, optional

Directions

  1. 1

    Heat oil over high heat in a large skillet (not non-stick.) Add garlic and ginger, and cook, stirring constantly until fragrant and starting to brown, about 30 seconds.

  2. 2

    Stir in Napa cabbage (the skillet will be full.)

  3. 3

    Add dry sherry and cover with a well-fitting lid. Let cook about 2 minutes to allow the Napa to wilt.

    Remove lid and sprinkle with salt. Cook, stirring often until the cabbage is tender, but not completely limp, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in scallions and remove from the heat. Serve sprinkled with sesame seeds.
