Ingredients

2 lbs cabbage (chopped into 2" pieces)
1 lb carrots (thickly sliced)
3 tbsp toasted sesame oil (divided)
2 inch piece ginger (grated)
3 large garlic cloves (grated)
5 tbsp soy sauce (I used Bragg's liquid aminos)
2 tbsp honey or maple syrup
2 tbsp water
1 tbsp rice vinegar
9 oz thin brown rice noodles
4 green onion sprigs (finely chopped)
Red pepper flakes (to taste)
Boiled water

Steps:

Preheat large Dutch oven or skillet on medium heat and swirl 2 tbsp of sesame oil to coat. Add ginger and garlic; sauté for 30 seconds, stirring constantly.
Add cabbage and carrots, stir; cover and cook for 6 minutes, stirring once.
In the meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine soy sauce, maple syrup, water, rice vinegar; whisk with a fork and set aside. Also place brown rice noodles in a bowl with boiled water for 3 minutes. Using kitchen scissors cut noodles right in the bowl. Drain and set aside.
Pour sauce over cabbage and carrots; add noodles. Stir everything well. Top with remaining 1 tbsp sesame seed oil, green onions and red pepper flakes (if you wish). A few more stirs and serve hot.

Sesame Shrimp Fried Rice with Cabbage image

This dish is a 10 minute meal in a bowl that gives you all the full-flavor satisfaction of fried rice without loads of grease and salt. Make sure you use very cold cooked rice (hello leftover Chinese food), or you will wind up with a sticky mess.

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1 tablespoon canola oil
4 scallions, white and green parts, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon peeled, grated fresh ginger
1 pound peeled, cleaned small shrimp
5 cups thinly sliced green cabbage, cut crosswise into 3-inch pieces
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
4 cups very cold cooked brown rice
3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons sesame seeds

Steps:

Heat the oil in a very large nonstick skillet or wok over a high heat. Add the scallions, ginger and shrimp and cook stirring frequently until the shrimp turn pink, about 1 1/2 minutes. Add the cabbage and continue cooking until it begins to soften, but is still somewhat crisp, about 2 minutes more. Transfer the shrimp-cabbage mixture to a bowl.
Heat the sesame oil in the same skillet or wok over a medium-high heat. Add the rice and cook stirring frequently, until heated through, about 3 minutes. Add the shrimp-cabbage mixture back to the skillet, stir in the soy sauce and sesame seeds and serve.

Tips:

Prep Your Ingredients: Chop the cabbage, carrots, and scallions before starting to cook. This will save time and ensure even cooking.
Use Fresh Ginger and Garlic: Freshly grated ginger and garlic add a bright, aromatic flavor to the dish. If you don't have fresh on hand, you can use 1/2 teaspoon of ground ginger and 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder instead.
Toast the Sesame Seeds: Toasting the sesame seeds enhances their nutty flavor and adds a lovely texture to the dish.
Use a Good Quality Soy Sauce: A good quality soy sauce will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish. Look for a soy sauce that is naturally brewed and has a rich, umami flavor.
Serve Immediately: This dish is best served immediately after cooking. The cabbage will start to wilt if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

Sesame Brown Rice and Cabbage is a simple yet flavorful dish that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal. It's packed with healthy vegetables and whole grains, and the sesame-soy sauce dressing adds a delicious savory flavor. Whether you're a vegetarian or just looking for a healthy and satisfying meal, this dish is sure to please.
