Cabbage Stir-Fry Recipe
The Cabbage Stir-Fry Recipe combines crisp onion, garlic, ginger, carrot, and thinly sliced cabbage, quickly cooked in vegetable oil with soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil for balanced savory and tangy flavors. The final addition of fresh mung bean sprouts adds a fresh crunch, and the optional sriracha or sambal hot sauce can provide a spicy kick. This stir-fry maintains a slightly crisp texture in the cabbage and works well as a light vegetable side dish or simple main for a fast, flavorful meal.

Notes
- Choose a cabbage that feels heavy for its size with tightly packed, crisp leaves and no blemishes for best texture.
- Slice cabbage uniformly so it cooks evenly without undercooked or overly soft pieces.
- Cook the cabbage until it softens but still retains slight crispness; avoid overcooking for best texture.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days and reheat in a skillet or microwave.
