Cabbage and egg is easy to make—the egg aroma lifts the cabbage’s natural sweetness.

Steps

How to make it

Prep 5 min · Cook 10 min

Shred the cabbage coarsely; smash the garlic. Beat the eggs with a pinch of salt and 1 tsp water until slightly frothy (the water helps fluffy, tender curds); set aside.
Heat oil in a skillet; stir-fry garlic, then cabbage until slightly softened.
Push the cabbage to the side, pour in the eggs and scramble into chunks, then toss with the cabbage and season.

Tips & storage

Make it easier

Don’t cook the cabbage until it releases too much water—crisper texture is nicer.

Refrigerate up to 2 days; reheat in a dry skillet rather than the microwave for better aroma.
