Instructions

Beat the eggs: In a small bowl, beat the eggs with a pinch of salt and set aside to prepare for scrambling.
Scramble the eggs: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Pour in the beaten eggs and scramble gently until just cooked through. Remove the eggs from the pan and set aside.
Stir-fry garlic and cabbage: Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the pan and stir-fry the minced garlic for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the sliced cabbage and stir-fry for 4 to 6 minutes, stirring frequently, until the cabbage is softened but still retains a slight crispness.
Combine and season: Return the cooked scrambled eggs to the pan with the cabbage. Add the soy sauce, optional sesame oil, salt, and ground pepper. Stir everything together for an additional 1 to 2 minutes until all ingredients are well combined and heated through.
Garnish and serve: Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions or sesame seeds if desired. Serve hot as a nutritious side dish or a light main course.

Add sliced carrots, mushrooms, or cooked noodles to increase the variety and heartiness of the stir-fry.
Use gluten-free soy sauce to make this recipe gluten-free.
For a milder garlic flavor, reduce the amount of garlic or sauté it until lightly golden.
