Ingredients

  • 600 g cabbage, roughly chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, smashed
  • 1 tbsp fish sauce
  • 1 tbsp neutral oil
  • 1 tsp sugar

Directions

  1. 1Chop the cabbage into rough pieces rather than fine shreds so it can take the heat.
  2. 2Heat the oil in a wok over the highest heat you have.
  3. 3Add the smashed garlic and stir thirty seconds until it just colours.
  4. 4Add the cabbage all at once and toss for three minutes until the edges char.
  5. 5Mix the fish sauce with the sugar and pour it down the side of the wok.
  6. 6Toss one minute more and serve immediately.

💡 Rough pieces, not shreds. Shredded cabbage collapses into water before the pan can put any colour on it.
