Ingredients
  

  • 2 tsp olive oil, divided
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 3 cups sliced purple cabbage (¼ inch thick)
  • 2-3 teaspoon liquid aminos (or coconut aminos)
  • ½ teaspoon sesame seed oil
  • 2-3 tablespoon green onion to garnish

Instructions
 

  • Slice cabbage into ¼ inch thick slices. Set aside.
  • Heat a medium-sized skillet ( I use cast iron) on low-medium heat with 1 teaspoon olive oil. Once hot, add chia seeds. Toast for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
    Add cabbage plus ½-1 more teaspoon olive oil. Add liquid aminos and cook for another 4-5 minutes. Start low with liquid aminos (1-2 tsp, then add more if you want. 3 is flavorful, but salty!) Turn off heat and add sesame oil.
    Garnish with diced fresh green onion.
    Serve warm or cold!
