Cabbage: A Simple, Healthy Vegetable!

Cabbage is a great vegetable. It comes in different colors and shapes and is very useful in cooking. You can eat it raw, cooked, or even fermented. It's a healthy addition to your meals. Cabbage is good for you! It's low in calories and carbs, but has Vitamin C and Vitamin K. It also has fiber, which helps you feel full. Plus, you can find cabbage all year, and it's not expensive.

How to Pick and Keep Cabbage

Choose a cabbage that feels firm and solid, and has bright color. A good cabbage will last for a few weeks in your fridge. Once you cut it, wrap any leftovers tightly in plastic wrap and use them within a couple of days to keep it fresh.

Easy Cabbage Stir-Fry Recipe

This recipe is like the simple, tasty stir-fries from South India. It's all about adding flavors quickly.

Prep Time: 30 mins
Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 45 mins

Ingredients:

  • 1 Medium Cabbage (diced or shaved)
  • 3 tbsp Coconut oil
  • 1 tsp Mustard Seed (optional, but highly recommended for authentic flavor!)
  • 1 sprig Curry leaves (optional, adds a wonderful aroma)
  • 2 Green Chilies (Sliced in half - adjust to your spice preference)
  • 1 Medium Onion (diced)
  • 1/2 tsp Cumin Ground
  • 1/2 tsp Turmeric Ground
  • 1 cup Grated coconut (fresh is best, but dried unsweetened flakes work too - see notes below)
  • Salt (to taste)

Instructions:

  1. In a large skillet or wok, heat the coconut oil over medium heat.

  2. Once the oil is hot, add the mustard seeds (if using). Let them splutter. Then, add the curry leaves (if using).

  3. Add the diced onion and green chilies. Sauté until the onion starts to soften and turn translucent.

  4. Reduce the heat to low. Add the cumin powder and turmeric powder. Stir quickly (be careful not to burn the spices).

  5. Immediately add the diced or shaved cabbage, grated coconut, and salt. Mix everything well to coat the cabbage with the spices and coconut.

  6. Set the heat to medium-low. Cover the skillet with a lid and let it cook for about 5 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender-crisp to your liking.

  7.  Remove the lid and stir. If there is any water in the pan, increase the heat slightly and stir until the water evaporates. This will ensure your stir-fry is not soggy.

  8. Serve hot as a side dish or a light meal. It's delicious on its own or paired with other dishes!

Notes:

  • Cooking times may vary depending on the size of your cabbage pieces and your desired level of tenderness.

  • Dried coconut flakes can be used in place of fresh coconut. If using dried flakes, you may want to soak them in a little warm water for a few minutes to soften them slightly before adding to the stir-fry.

  • Spice Level: Adjust the amount of green chilies to your preference. For a milder dish, remove the seeds from the chilies or use just one.

  • Serving Suggestion: This cabbage stir-fry is fantastic as a side dish with keto-friendly lentil curry, cauliflower rice, or alongside grilled protein.
