Ingredients

  • 1 Tbs Olive Oil
  • 1/2 Red Onion thinly sliced
  • 2 Carrots peeled & shredded (about 1 cup)
  • 2 Celery Stalks chopped
  • 4 cups Shredded Cabbage about 1 pound
  • 1 cup Sliced Mushrooms
  • 2 Tbs Soy Sauce or Coconut Aminos
  • Salt & Pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp Sesame Oil
  • Chopped Green Onions & Sesame Seeds for garnish

Instructions

  • Heat the olive oil a large skillet over medium-high heat and sauté the onion, carrots and celery until they start to soften, about 5 minutes.
  • Add in the shredded cabbage, mushrooms, soy sauce salt and pepper, along with a splash of water to help prevent sticking. The water should immediately sizzle when you add it to the pan, which helps create steam.
  • Cover the skillet and lower the heat. Continue cooking until the vegetables are tender, about 10 to 15 minutes depending on how crunchy or soft you want the vegetables to be. Stir in the sesame oil as soon as the vegetables are tender.
  • Season with additional salt and pepper, if desired, then serve warm with a topping of green onions and sesame seeds.

Notes

Pro Tip: Easily make this a full meal by adding protein like eggs (fried or scrambled), chunks of chicken breast or tofu, or ground turkey!
