Cooking Guide
Trim the green beans and cut them on a diagonal into 2-inch pieces. Remove any bruised outer cabbage leaves, cut the cabbage in half, remove the core, and thinly shred it. Mince the garlic, grate the ginger, and slice the scallions if using.
The Why
Uniform, bite-size vegetables cook quickly and fit neatly into a buffet tray, while preparing the aromatics first prevents them from burning later.
