Ingredients
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 cup chopped onion
2 medium green bell peppers, chopped
1 small head cabbage, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
Directions
Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water before beginning food preparation.
Rinse the green bell peppers and cabbage under cool running water. Pat them dry with a clean towel, then chop the peppers into bite-sized pieces and roughly chop the cabbage into thin strips. Chop the onion into bite-sized pieces and mince the garlic cloves.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat for about 1 minute until it is hot and shimmering.
Add the chopped onion, green bell peppers, cabbage, and minced garlic to the skillet. Stir well to combine and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 8–10 minutes until the vegetables become tender but still retain a slight crisp.
Drizzle the low-sodium soy sauce over the vegetables and stir to coat everything evenly. Continue cooking for 1–2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce heats through and coats all the vegetables.
Transfer the stir-fry to a serving platter and enjoy hot. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days.
Comments
Every ingredient is standard stock at any Charlotte grocer—cabbage, onion, bell pepper, and garlic are year-round staples at Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Walmart, ALDI, and Kroger. At roughly $1.50 for cabbage, $0.50 for onion, $1 for pepper, $0.25 for garlic, and $0.75 in oil and soy sauce, you're looking at under $1.50 per serving, which is solid. The 25-minute window is honest for a stir-fry if you're comfortable with a hot pan and quick chopping, though a home cook new to the technique might add 5 minutes. This is a weeknight workhorse—no fussy timing, no constant stirring, and it reheats decently in a microwave or skillet the next day, though texture will soften slightly.
