Ingredients

• Cabbage - 200 grams, finely shredded
• Zucchini - 2 medium, spiralized into noodles
• Carrot - 1 medium, julienned
• Capsicum (Bell Pepper) - 1 small, chopped

Steps

1. Heat oil in a large pan or wok over medium heat.
2. Add minced garlic and ginger, sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
3. Add the finely shredded cabbage, julienned carrot, and chopped capsicum to the pan. Stir-fry for about 5-6 minutes until they start to soften.
