Simple Stir-Fried Cabbage
Now that spring is near we are seeing the light at the end of the winter vegetable tunnel. We have eaten cabbage probably twice a week since November, and this dish is usually on the menu weekly.
This cabbage dish is great alongside salmon cakes, which we eat frequently as well. What I love about the combination is that I simply fry the salmon cakes and then stir fry the cabbage – a one pan meal.
It is also very frugal, considering that cabbage is among one of the cheapest vegetables out there. Not to mention absolutely delicious.
Three years ago if you had asked me if I liked cabbage you would have heard a firm “No!” This is the dish that changed my mind and made me realize that the stinky overboiled cabbage of my childhood was not this vegetable’s finest hour.
Simple Stir-Fried Cabbage
Ingredients
1 tablespoon coconut oil
1 small onion, sliced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 small – medium head of napa or green cabbage, trimmed and sliced
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
sesame oil, for drizzling
salt to taste
Directions
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sliced onions and saute until translucent. Add garlic and saute for an additional minute. Stir in cabbage and saute until it is just starting to wilt. Add soy sauce and vinegar and cook until cabbage has just wilted. Remove from heat, add sesame oil and taste for seasoning. Add salt if needed and serve while still hot.
Love fried cabbage! We love it with onions and bacon. It gets so sweet! And we have had cabbage a lot this winter too. Gotta love CSA winter veggies. Makes that spring asparagus taste soooo much better when it finally is ready to be picked.

This looks yummy! I have three heads of cabbage sitting in my veggie drawer right now and will have to turn one into this yummy recipe. 🙂

What a great idea. I always feel obligated to turn cabbage into sauerkraut or cortido. Don’t know why I don’t just keep it simple and cook it like this!
Thanks for participating in today’s Fight Back Fridays carnival.

That sounds yummy. I have to admit, I love stinky overboiled cabbage. I chop it up and boil it with onions, carrots and sometimes potatoes, and I know it’s done when I can’t stand the smell anymore. Mmm, it’s so yummy! But maybe it’s time to branch out and try something different 🙂

Thanks for the inspiration…I just cooked a pan and I’m having it for lunch. Yum!
I cooked this tonight along with the salmon cakes with lemon caper butter sauce. It was sooooooo yummy. Thank you!
My kids, actually the whole family loves this recipe! My oldest DD requests it all the time!! Thanks for the recipe!
Great recipe! We had it tonight w/ salmon patties. We’re on the GAPs diet, so it was great to have a new side dish to add in.
Made this recipe tonight and added carrots, zucchini, shredded chicken and some ginger and it was a perfect one-pot meal. Love how versatile this recipe is!
will try this too! Love cabbage so much.
