Notes
- Choose the right cabbage. Choose a cabbage that feels heavy for its size and has no spots or blemishes.. It should be bright green, with crisp looking, tightly packed leaves. Some cabbages are huge, so you may need to plan for more than one meal using cabbage. (Try my slow cooker cabbage rolls, or corned beef and cabbage.
- Uniform slices: Try to slice cabbage so they pieces are the around the same size. Larger pieces of cabbage won't cook as quickly.
- Don't overcook: You want to stir fry cabbage until softened but still retaining a slightly crisp texture.
- Storage: Store leftover cabbage stir fry in an airtight container in the fridge for up to four days.
- Reheat: Reheat in the microwave, or in a wok or skillet.
