• 1/2 head of green cabbage, shredded
• 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce

Instructions:

1. Prep the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and honey (if using).
2. Cook the aromatics: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic, and cook until softened and fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.

6. Serve: Garnish with green onions, sesame seeds, and red pepper flakes (if desired) and serve immediately over rice or noodles.

Flavor Variations:

• Spicy: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a drizzle of sriracha to the sauce.
• Ginger Garlic: Add 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger along with the garlic in step 2.
• Thai-Inspired: Substitute fish sauce for some of the soy sauce, and add a squeeze of lime juice at the end.
