Sauteed Napa Cabbage
Sauteed Napa Cabbage uses sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and a hint of red pepper flakes to introduce warm aromatic notes to tender, softened cabbage strips. A combination of soy sauce, hoisin, rice vinegar, smoked paprika, and brown sugar create a balanced savory and slightly sweet sauce. Topped with green onion and sesame seeds, it offers a textured, flavorful side or light main dish.
