SPICY STIR-FRIED CABBAGE



Spicy Stir-Fried Cabbage image

This is a vegetarian version of a classic Chinese stir-fry. The authentic versions I've encountered include some pork or bacon, but the chilies, ginger, garlic, star anise and the cabbage are flavorful enough without meat. I've added carrots for color.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dinner, easy, quick, weekday, one pot, main course

Time 10m

Yield Serves four

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons minced ginger
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 star anise, broken in half
2 teaspoons soy sauce (more to taste)
2 tablespoons Shao Hsing rice wine or dry sherry
2 tablespoons peanut or canola oil
1 small cabbage, 1 to 1 1/2 pounds, quartered, cored and cut crosswise into 1/8-inch shreds
1 medium carrot, cut into julienne
Salt to taste
2 tablespoons minced chives, Chinese chives or cilantro

Steps:

  • Combine the garlic, ginger, red pepper flakes and star anise in a small bowl. Combine the soy sauce and wine or sherry in another small bowl.
  • Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok or a 12-inch skillet over high heat until a drop of water evaporates within a second or two when added to the pan. Swirl in the oil by adding it to the sides of the pan and tilting it back and forth. Add the garlic, ginger, pepper flakes and star anise. Stir-fry for a few seconds, just until fragrant, then add the cabbage and carrots. Stir-fry for one to two minutes until the cabbage begins to wilt, then add the salt and wine/soy sauce mixture. Cover and cook over high heat for one minute until just wilted. Uncover and stir-fry for another 30 seconds, then stir in the chives or cilantro and remove from the heat. The cabbage should be crisp-tender. Serve with rice or noodles.

EASY CABBAGE CASSEROLE - TASTES LIKE CABBAGE ROLLS



Easy Cabbage Casserole - Tastes Like Cabbage Rolls image

This is a great recession meal. Very inexpensive yet HEALTHY and filling! You just do not find that very often. So many recipes that are quick and easy... one pan wonders... etc.. are high in fat and calories and lack much nutrition. I like to hide more veggies in here too! Think carrots, celery, etc,, grated, diced, chopped whatever. If you like spicy foods try Hot & Spicy V8 here and you can even add some cayenne if you like. There is just something we like about spicy mixed with sweet- so the hint of sweetness in the sauce is fantastic. At my house, whoever finds the bay leaf is the lucky one! Just do not eat it Hope you enjoy this comforting casserole!

Time 50m

Yield 6 very ample portions, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 medium cabbage (shredded and bagged cabbage or coleslaw mix works great and saves this step)
16 ounces ground turkey or 16 ounces lean ground beef
1 cup yellow onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced (more if you like)
1 eggs, beaten or 1 egg substitute
1/2 cup milk
1 cup cooked rice
1 (14 ounce) can stewed tomatoes
8 ounces tomato sauce
10 ounces condensed tomato soup
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon cayenne (more if you like) (optional)
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, fresh ground is best
1 bay leaf
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Saute onion and garlic in a large skillet for about a minute. Add meat and cook, stirring often, until meat is no longer pink. Drain well and let cool to room temperature. When meat has cooled add egg, milk and rice.
  • Meanwhile, remove tough outer leaves from cabbage & remove core. Shred cabbage if not using a bag of shredded cabbage. Saute the cabbage in the same skillet used before.
  • In a large bowl mix all the sauce ingredients together. Place some of this mixture in the bottom of a sprayed 10x13 casserole dish so you have a nice layer of sauce. Try not to use more than half though.
  • Layer half the cabbage on top of the sauce. Layer all the meat on top of the cabbage. Top with remaining cabbage and then finish by pouring all the remaining sauce on top.
  • Bake at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes or until everything is hot and bubbly.
  • Garnish with a dollop of sour cream if desired. Remember- whoever finds the bay leaf is the lucky one! Just do not eat it!
