Ginger, in traditional Chinese medicine, is used to expel cold, wind, and dampness, while garlic contains compounds called alliin and allicin, which have been found to kill bacteria directly. The two together pack quite the punch, and may support the immune system. Serve as a side dish or add some tofu cubes for an Asian inspired meal!
Ingredients
2 Tbsp olive oil
1/4 cup ginger, chopped finely or blended in a blender with a little water to form a smooth paste
2 cloves garlic, crushed, let stand 10 minutes, then chopped
1 head of green cabbage, shredded
Pinch of salt (optional) and pepper to taste
Juice of 1 lime
Directions
1. In a large sautee pan or rondeau, gently heat your olive oil.
2. Add the ginger, and garlic, sautee gently for 3-5 minutes, or until slightly translucent.
3. Add the cabbage and salt, coating well with ginger and garlic mixture. Cover, and let cook on a medium-low heat for 5-10 minutes.
4. Remove cover. Cabbage should be tender, and have diminished in size.
5. Remove from heat, add pepper to taste, and juice of 1 lime.
