Instructions

Pre-heat your grill on medium high heat. Drizzle the cabbage wedges with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place onto the grill and close the lid. Cook until the cabbage is charred and softened, flipping halfway, about five minutes per side.

In a sauce pot, add oil and heat until smoking hot, add ginger, garlic, chili, green onions and cook for 30 seconds. Remove from heat and add fish sauce, lime juice and cilantro. Set aside.

Once the cabbage is charred and tender, transfer to a serving platter. Add dressing to each piece of cabbage. Season with salt and pepper if needed. Enjoy as a side dish or for light lunch.
