👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Make Stir Fry Sauce: Make the sauce: In a small bowl or liquid measuring cup, combine all the ingredients from the sauce list. Whisk well to thoroughly combine. Set aside.
2. 2Stir-fry Onions With Aromatics: Stir-fry onions and aromatics: In a large sauté pan over medium heat, melt the butter with the oil. Add the onion and increase the heat to medium-high. Stir-fry the onions until they are almost softened, about 3 minutes. Then, add the garlic and ginger to the pan, along with the white/light green parts of the scallions. Cook the onion mixture, stirring constantly, until fragrant about 1 minute.
3. 3Add cabbage and carrots: Increase the heat to high and immediately add the cabbage and carrots to the pan and stir well. Let the cabbage cook for 1 minute undisturbed (you want the cabbage to slightly char). Stir and toss the mixture well and then allow to cook undisturbed for another 1 minute. Toss rapidly and continue to cook, stir-frying, for 1 minute.
4. 4Add stir fry sauce: Add the sauce to the pan and toss well so everything is coated. Cook until the cabbage is just tender and softened, about 1 minute.
5. 5Adjust to taste: Remove from heat and stir in the dark green parts of the scallions. Taste and adjust for seasoning with salt, pepper, fresh lime juice and/or sriracha. Transfer to a serving plate.
6. 6Serve Stir Fried Cabbage: Serve cabbage stir fry: Garnish the top of your stir fried cabbage with optional toppings and serve hot. Enjoy!
