Healthy & Delicious: Stir-Fried Iceberg Lettuce And Sautéed Cabbage (Gomen) Recipe

• 1 teaspoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon rice wine or dry sherry
• 3/4 teaspoon sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 3/4 tablespoon peanut oil
• 4 scallions, cut on the diagonal into 1" pieces
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 head iceberg lettuce, cored, outermost leaves discarded, inner leaves torn into 4-inch pieces
• Kosher salt, to taste
• 1 large onion, diced fine
• 1 cup canned diced tomatoes, drained
• 1 head cabbage, cored, outer leaves discarded, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 2 large cloves garlic, minced
• Lots of Kosher salt, to taste
• 1 small hot red pepper (optional)

1. Combine soy sauce, sesame oil, sherry, sugar, and pepper in a bowl. Stir to mix. Set aside, but keep it close to your pan.
2. Heat a large nonstick skillet over high heat, about 3 or 4 minutes, or until very hot. Add peanut oil. Immediately add garlic and half the scallions. After 5 or 10 seconds, once the garlic starts to change color, add lettuce. Saute 60 seconds, stirring every so often. Add sauce. Cook another 60 seconds, stirring so all the lettuce gets some of the sauce. Kill heat. Salt to taste. Remove to a bowl. Top with extra scallions and serve.
3. Add onions to a large, dry, nonstick skillet. Heat over medium high and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions start to soften and become translucent. Add oil and drop heat to medium. Add tomatoes, garlic, and red pepper if using. Heat through, stirring often. Add cabbage. Do not stir. Cook 4 or 5 minutes.
4. Okay, now stir. Then, cover and cook 20 minutes, stirring every few minutes. Cabbage will cook down. If things start to stick, add a little water.
5. When cabbage is tender and shiny, kill heat. Salt to taste and serve.
