Stir Fried Spicy Cabbage

Rita~'s Note:

Made with green/white cabbage but try napa cooking for a shorter time. This has the perfect heat and sweetness. I used this side as a bed for Flounder Fillets Grilled in Foil With an Asian Touch to make a delish low carb meal. This is a good for you food that no one should be without. It has wonderful benefits for the body. Having phytonutrients it helps to protect the body from free radicals. It may lower the incidence of cancer, in the lung, stomach, colon and prostate. Cabbage is a muscle builder, blood cleanser and eye strengthener. Cabbage is rich in vitamin C, iron and sulfur.

Super quick dish!! I used napa cabbage and will probably make this again with regular. The DH said all the flavors were well balanced. I served with a side of noodles and he ate all of this...the napa cabbage reduced down quite a bit and was probably enough for two large servings - well at least in this house. Lovely dish, Rita!! Thanks!! Made for Veg*n Swap 26!!

"It's a keeper and a favorite"! DH and I loved it! I only had 5 Cups of shredded green cabbage, but, outside of adding an additional tsp. of soy sauce, I followed your recipe. I served it with Bergy Dim Sum #5, Steamed Shrimp Dumplings. It was the perfect twosome. I had some cabbage leftover and it tasted even better the next day. Thank you. :)

YUM! What a terrific recipe. I had some leftover cabbage that I wanted to use up, and this recipe was absolutely perfect. Just the right amount of spicy, crunch & salty. Thanks for sharing! I'll be making this regularly.
