A fast, tasty vegetable dish with a spicy crunch.

Prep time:  10 minutes
Cook time:  5-6 Minutes
Serves:  4 as a side dish

INGREDIENTS
3 TB canola oil
1 tsp red pepper flakes
1 tsp ground ginger
3 garlic scapes, diced, or 1 large clove garlic, crushed
3 cups thinly sliced cabbage
1 cup salad turnips, sliced 1/4 inch thick
2-3 TB soy sauce
1 bunch fresh cilantro, minced
Salt if necessary

DIRECTIONS
Preheat the oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat.  Add the pepper flakes and ground ginger, and garlic and stir for 30 seconds or until garlic tans in the oil.  Add the cabbage and turnips and cook, stirring, for 4 minutes or until the crisp veggies begin to turn tender.  Turn off heat, toss with soy sauce and cilantro, and serve (salt if necessary but the soy sauce may add enough salt already).
