  • Shallots4 cloves, minced
  • Ground Coriander1 tsp
  • Coconut Oil2 tbsp

Instructions

  1. 1

    Get your wok ripping hot and add the Coconut Oil — it should shimmer instantly.

  2. 2

    Toss in the shallots and ground coriander for 15 seconds, no longer, so they perfume the oil without burning.

  3. 3

    Add the cabbage and stir-fry hard, keeping everything moving until just cooked through.

  4. 4

    Throw in the bell pepper and spring onions, then splash in the sweet soy sauce around the edge of the wok.

  5. 5

    Toss twice more, kill the heat, and serve immediately over steamed rice — a stir-fry waits for no one.

Chef's tip

A final squeeze of lime just before serving lifts every other flavour.
