Ingredients:

  • 1/2 medium head (450g) green cabbage, thinly shredded
  • 2 medium (340g) Yukon Gold potatoes, julienned into matchsticks
  • 1 medium (110g) yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 3 cloves (9g) garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp (5g) fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 tbsp (30ml) neutral oil
  • 2 tbsp (30ml) soy sauce
  • 1/2 tsp (2g) black pepper
  • 1 tsp (5g) sugar
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) rice vinegar

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the produce. Wash and peel the potatoes, slicing them into thin matchsticks. Shred the cabbage into thin ribbons and slice the onion into half moons. Note: Keep the cut potatoes in a bowl of cold water if you aren't cooking them immediately to prevent browning.
  2. Heat the oil. Pour 2 tbsp oil into your wok or skillet over medium high heat until it starts shimmering.
  3. Sear the potatoes. Add the potato matchsticks in a single layer and fry without stirring for 3 minutes, then toss and cook for another 3-5 minutes until edges are mahogany colored.
  4. Sauté the onions. Stir in the sliced onions and cook for 2-3 minutes until they become translucent.
  5. Wilt the greens. Add the shredded cabbage, garlic, and ginger. Toss frequently for 5-7 minutes until the cabbage softens and turns translucent green.
  6. Mix the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, and black pepper.
  7. Reduce the sauce. Drizzle the mixture over the vegetables. Stir fry on high heat for 2-3 minutes until the sauce reduces and coats everything in a glossy sheen.
  8. Finish. Remove from heat immediately to prevent the cabbage from overcooking.
