Fumbling Toward Culinary Talent: Spicy Ham and Cabbage Stir-Fry

The base of this recipe can be found in this recipe article (gifted) from The Washington Post. 

I modified according to what had at the house. I use minced ginger from a small squeeze bottle that I got from one of my local supermarkets.  

Ingredients

• 2-3 TB of avocado oil
• 1/2 head of green cabbage, thinly sliced
• 1 small sweet onion, cut thinly
• 8 oz of ham cubed
• 1 TB of minced ginger
• 1/4 cup of hoisin sauce
• 1 TB of fresh lime juice
• 1 ts of Sambal Oelek
• Salt and pepper to taste

Process

Put the oil in a cast-iron skillet and heat to medium-high heat. Once it's properly heated, put the onion and cabbage in. Add salt and pepper. Cook for approximately 5-8 minutes stirring frequently. 

Move the heat down to medium. Add the ham and ginger and stir from time to time for about five minutes. 

Add the hoisin sauce and Sambal Oelek and stir thoroughly. Cook for about a minute or two. Check for seasoning and serve over rice. 

When I do this again, I'd probably add more cabbage, reduce the amount of ham, and maybe add some other vegetables.
