Description
A quick and delicious stir-fry with cabbage, eggs, and a savory sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce or tamari
- 2 tablespoons fish sauce
- ¼ cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons cornstarch (or arrowroot powder)
- 4 large eggs
- 4 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 jalapeño pepper (ribs and seeds removed, finely chopped)
- 1 small onion (thinly sliced)
- 1 small green bell pepper (thinly sliced)
- 4 garlic cloves (minced)
- 5 cups finely shredded green cabbage (about half a medium head)
- ½ cup packed roughly chopped fresh cilantro or Thai basil
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped dry-roasted unsalted peanuts
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, fish sauce, broth, sugar, and cornstarch.
- In another small bowl, beat the eggs.
- In a 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat 2 teaspoons of the oil over medium-high heat. Add the jalapeño, onion, and pepper, and cook, stirring frequently, until tender but still crisp, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Transfer to a plate.
- Add the remaining 2 teaspoons of oil to the skillet. Add the cabbage and cook, stirring frequently, until tender but still crisp, about 5 minutes.
- Add the eggs, stir into the cabbage, and cook, stirring constantly, until just set, about 2 minutes.
- Add the soy sauce mixture, stir well, and bring the mixture to a boil, and cook until the cabbage is coated in a thick, glossy sauce. Stir in the onions and peppers. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the fresh cilantro. Sprinkle the peanuts over the top and serve.
