2 teaspoons minced garlic

Quarter and core the cabbage. Cut into 2” dice.

In a small bowl mix together the ginger, garlic and ground coriander.

Heat a heavy skillet over medium-high heat, add oil, mustard seeds and stir. After about 20 seconds, add sliced onion and stir-fry until softened and starting to brown, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the reserved flavor paste, add cabbage and sprinkle with salt. Stir-fry for a minute to expose all the surfaces to the hot pan, add water, bring to a boil and simmer for 2-3 minutes, covered.
