Spiced Cabbage

I'm always looking for new ways of serving vegetables and I recently had very little left in the fridge other than some red and white cabbages left over from making coleslaw.  This quick and easy spiced cabbage is so tasty I made it as a side for dinner and later made a second batch as a snack on its own.


What you will need:
  • Red cabbage
  • White cabbage
  • Rice bran oil
  • Sesame oil
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed
  • 2 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 - 1 tsp salt (I use less if the children are eating, and more if it's a snack just for me)
What you need to do:

Finely slice the cabbages.  Heat a wok with a mixture of rice bran and sesame oil.  Add the garlic and fry gently for about 20 seconds, then add the cumin and stir for another 10 seconds.

Add the cabbage and stir well to coat with oil.  Continue stir frying until the cabbage is just tender.  Add the salt and mix well.

Serve and enjoy.
