Notes
- Store leftover Chinese cabbage stir-fry in an airtight container in the refrigerator, where it will keep for up to 3 days. Freezing is not recommended as the cabbage will become soggy and lose its texture upon thawing.
- To reheat, simply warm the stir-fry in a skillet over medium heat for a few minutes until heated through. Alternatively, you can use a microwave, but be sure to cover the dish and heat in short intervals.
