  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1/2 head cabbage, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup shredded carrots

  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce (optional, adjust to taste)
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

  2. Stir in diced onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the onion is softened and fragrant.

Stir well to combine, ensuring that everything is evenly coated in the sauce. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
