Cold Spiced Cabbage

Cut cabbage into 2-inch pieces.

Place a wok over high heat. When wok is hot, add salad oil. When oil begins to heat, add garlic and stir once. Then add cabbage and stir for 30 seconds.

Add water, then cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until cabbage is just barely wilted (about 1 to 2 minutes). Remove from heat and pour off any excess liquid.

Stir sugar, vinegar, salt, sesame oil and red pepper into cabbage. Let cool, then cover and refrigerate until well chilled.
