Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil
- 8 cups green cabbage, finely sliced
- 1 cup carrots, peeled and grated
- 1 cup onion, finely diced
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 cups jasmine rice, cooked
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
Directions
Step 1 –Heat a large, heavy-bottomed skillet or wok over high heat.
Step 2 –Add the cooking oil to the skillet and toss in the green cabbage, carrots, and onions.
Step 3 –Sauté the vegetables until the cabbage is wilted and starting to turn a little brown, about 7-10 minutes.
Step 4 –Stir constantly so the vegetables don’t scorch to the bottom of the pan. The vegetables will shrink to about 1/3 to 1/2 of their original size.
Step 5 –Lower the heat to medium-low and add the butter and the jasmine rice to the vegetable mixture; stir to combine until the butter is melted, about 4-5 minutes.
Step 6 –Add the soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper to the vegetable mixture and stir until it is well combined, for about 5 minutes.
Step 7 –Serve.
