Hand Torn Cabbage
This dish features cabbage that’s been hand-torn to preserve its texture and flavor. It’s a perfect side or a main event in your meals!

Ingredients
- 1 head of green cabbage, hand-torn into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to your heat preference)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- Sesame seeds for garnish (optional)
- Fresh scallions, chopped for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Start by heating up that olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. You want it nice and hot to give your cabbage a good sizzle.
- Add in the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, stirring them around until fragrant—just about a minute. Be careful not to burn that garlic!
- Now, toss in your hand-torn cabbage. Stir it well to coat in that flavorful oil and garlic goodness. Let it cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it’s tender but still has a bit of crunch.
- Once your cabbage is in the zone, season with salt, pepper, and soy sauce. Mix it all together and let it cook for another couple of minutes.
- When everything’s mixed well and the cabbage has soaked up all those tasty flavors, it’s time to pull it off the heat.
- Serve immediately, garnished with sesame seeds and chopped scallions if you’re feelin’ fancy.
