Hot and Sour Cabbage

homemade hot and sour cabbage on a serving plate made with soy sauce, sugar, salt, sesame oil, garlic and Sichuan peppercorns
  • Serves:  4
  • Prep Time:  5 min
  • Cook Time:  10 min

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
  • ½ tablespoon white vinegar
  • 1½ teaspoons white sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • 10 dried chili peppers
  • 1 teaspoon szechuan peppercorns
  • 1 medium green cabbage, core removed, cut into 2-inch pieces

Method

  1. In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, and salt.

  2. In a large skillet, add vegetable oil, sesame oil, garlic, chili peppers, and peppercorns. Heat over medium-high heat and cook, stirring often, until fragrant. 2-3 minutes. *

  3. Add the cabbage to the skillet and toss to coat. Cook, stirring often, until cabbage turns bright green and begins to soften, about 2-3 minutes. Stir in the sauce and until combined. Cook until sauce is absorbed, 2-3 more minutes more.

  4. Serve immediately.

*Note: Starting with room temperature oil will help keep the garlic and chillies from burning since both can burn quickly if added to hot oil.
