Ingredients

  • 1 garlic clove, minced (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons oil (vegetable, olive, or sesame)
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (optional, for flavor)

  • ½ teaspoon chili flakes (optional, for heat)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds or chopped green onions for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Ingredients

  • Wash and shred the cabbage into thin strips.
  • Crack the eggs into a bowl, add a pinch of salt, and whisk until smooth.

2. Cook the Eggs

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.

3. Stir-Fry the Cabbage

  2. If using onion and garlic, sauté them until fragrant (about 1–2 minutes).
  3. Add the shredded cabbage and stir-fry for 3–5 minutes, or until it begins to soften but still has a slight crunch.

4. Combine Eggs and Cabbage

  1. Return the scrambled eggs to the pan with the cabbage.
  2. Add soy sauce, salt, pepper, and chili flakes (if using). Toss everything together gently to combine.
  3. Cook for an additional 1–2 minutes to let the flavors meld.

5. Garnish and Serve

  • Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with sesame seeds or chopped green onions.
  • Serve hot as a standalone dish or with steamed rice or flatbread.

Tips for Making the Best Cabbage and Eggs

  1. Keep the Cabbage Crunchy: Avoid overcooking to maintain a satisfying texture.
  2. Adjust Seasonings: Add soy sauce, oyster sauce, or even a splash of vinegar for more flavor.
  3. Add Protein: Include cooked chicken, shrimp, or tofu for a heartier meal.
  4. Make It Spicy: Add sliced green chilies or a drizzle of Sriracha for heat.

Variations

  1. Indian-Style Cabbage and Eggs: Add turmeric, cumin, and green chilies for an Indian-inspired version.
  2. Garlic Butter Version: Use garlic and butter for a richer flavor profile.
  3. Keto-Friendly Option: Skip the soy sauce and serve as is for a low-carb, high-protein meal.

Storage and Reheating

  • Refrigerator: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
