About Stir fry cabbage

Stir-fry cabbage is a simple yet versatile dish often associated with Asian cuisines, particularly Chinese, Japanese, and Korean cooking. It typically involves sautéing thinly sliced green or red cabbage with minimal oil, garlic, and soy sauce, sometimes paired with other vegetables or proteins. Cabbage, the star ingredient, is a nutrient-dense cruciferous vegetable. It is low in calories but rich in fiber, vitamin C, vitamin K, and antioxidants such as polyphenols. These nutrients contribute to its reputation as a health-promoting food. A single cup of cooked cabbage contains approximately 33 calories, 3 grams of fiber, over 50% of the Recommended Daily Intake (RDI) of vitamin C, and nearly 90% of the RDI for vitamin K, making it a nutritious option for meals.

Health Benefits

• High in vitamin C, which supports immune function and acts as a powerful antioxidant.
• Rich in fiber, improving digestive health and promoting healthy gut bacteria.
• Contains glucosinolates, compounds linked to reduced risk of certain cancers due to their anti-inflammatory properties.

Dietary Considerations

Allergens: Contains Soy (if soy sauce is used)

Suitable for: Vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free (if tamari or gluten-free soy sauce is used)

Not suitable for: Soy allergy (if soy sauce is included), low-fiber diets

Selection and Storage

Store whole cabbage in the crisper drawer of the refrigerator and use within 1-2 weeks. For stir-fry leftovers, refrigerate in an airtight container and consume within 3-4 days.
