Healthy, Yummy, Underrated Side Dish: Cooked Cabbage 3 Ways

Vegetable Stir Fry With Cabbage

This is a great way to use any veggies you have in the fridge, including shredded cabbage. Leftover chicken or steak can also be added, along with fried or regular rice.

Ingredients

  • 1 Onion, peeled and diced
  • 2 stalks Celery, chopped
  • 1/2 cup Carrots, sliced
  • 1 Bell pepper, thinly sliced (any color will work)
  • 1 cup Cabbage, shredded
  • 2 Tbsp Olive oil
  • 2 cubes Frozen garlic (or 2 cloves of fresh garlic, minced)
  • 2 cubes Frozen ginger
  • 2 cups Prepared rice (I typically use Trader Joe's Vegetable Fried Rick mix.)

Instructions

  1. Chop the onion, celery, carrots and bell pepper into a small dice. Cut the cabbage into thin shreds.

  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.

  3. Once the skillet is hot, add the onion, celery, carrots and bell pepper to the skillet, stirring occasionally.

  4. Add the cubes of garlic and ginger to the skillet and stir.

  5. Add the shredded cabbage to the skillet and stir to incorporate.

  6. Continue to cook the mixture until the vegetables are done, but not mushy. I like to add the shredded cabbage last so that it does not overcook.

  7. Add the prepared rice and stir to incorporate. (If you are using the Trader Joe's Vegetable Fried Rice mix, you will need to stir the mixture until the rice is thawed and done.)

Recipe Notes

Leftover or fresh cooked chicken or steak can also be added to the vegetable stir fry mixture or added to the side. I also love a drizzle of Japanese BBQ sauce on top!
