Easy Spicy Cabbage Side Dish (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
4 cups fresh cabbage
02 -
1 tablespoon tamari sauce (plus extra to taste)
03 -
3 garlic cloves, finely minced
04 -
1 tablespoon hot paprika (add more for extra kick)
05 -
1 teaspoon chili flakes
06 -
1 tablespoon good quality olive oil
07 -
Salt to taste
08 -
½ teaspoon cumin (optional but adds lovely depth)
# Instructions:
01 -
Peel away any wilted outer leaves and give your cabbage a good rinse. Cut it in half, place the flat side down on your chopping board for stability, then slice it into strips. Don't forget to remove the tough core!
02 -
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Toss in your sliced cabbage along with the hot paprika, and stir frequently for about 3-4 minutes to distribute the spice evenly.
03 -
Pour in the tamari sauce and sprinkle in those chili flakes. Add the minced garlic and give everything a good stir. Let it cook for another 2-3 minutes - you want the cabbage to absorb all those wonderful flavors while still keeping some crunch.
04 -
Take a quick taste and adjust the seasoning - maybe a splash more tamari, an extra pinch of salt, or more spice if you're feeling brave!
05 -
Dish up your spicy cabbage right away while it's hot and vibrant. It makes a perfect healthy side dish alongside your favorite protein or rice dish!
