Napa Cabbage Stir Fry with Mushrooms (Vegan)

Napa Cabbage Stir Fry with Mushrooms – Thinly sliced cabbage sautéed with mushrooms in a light and flavorful Chinese-inspired stir fry sauce. This vegan, quick, healthy dinner will become your go-to easy veggie recipe. 

Have you stared in the fridge looking at the ingredients and had no idea what to make out of them? I had experienced this many times! And until recently, this ”unusable recipe ingredient” for me was cabbage, any cabbage honestly.

I could not wrap my head around it and come up with a tasty and EASY dinner dish that everyone will love.

This being said, I actually am a huge fan of Asian cuisine, where cabbage is a quite popular ingredient. It’s quick, easy, simple to cook, and drizzled with some soy sauce you’ll have an amazing vegetable side dish ready in no time!

Being a fan of vegetable stir-fries, surprisingly I don’t cook many similar recipes at home. But I’m working towards improving my skills on this in the future, for sure!

I haven’t tried but adding some chicken or shrimps would work pretty well in this stir fry and will become a wholesome dinner meal that everyone will eat (even kids, probably!) Please let me know if you try it out!

Napa Cabbage Recipe

You’re gonna love how easy this cabbage stir fry recipe is, trust me on this one! Here’s what you’ll need and probably already have in the kitchen:

• 2 garlic cloves
• 1 tsp ginger, minced
• 1 napa cabbage, medium
• 9 oz mushrooms, champignon, sliced
• ½ tsp chili pepper
• 2 tbsp soy sauce, gluten-free or sub with coconut aminos
• 2 tsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp rice vinegar
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 1 tbsp sesame seeds
• cilantro for garnish
• Add salt if needed
• ½-1 tsp sugar (Optional)

How to cook Napa Cabbage

Slice off the stem end of the cabbage head so that you have a sturdy base. And cut it into thin strips (about 1 inch). Set aside.

Heat olive oil in the pan (regular pan is fine, no need for a wok) over medium heat and add mushrooms, cook until they’re brown (5-7 min).

Add ginger, garlic, and cook for 2-3 minutes.

Add in the cabbage, soy sauce, vinegar, stir to combine. Simmer for 5-7 minutes constantly stirring.

When ready, drizzle with sesame oil, sprinkle sesame seeds, and garnish with chopped cilantro. Your Napa cabbage and mushrooms stir fry is ready to serve!

Notes

• If gluten-free soy sauce not very salty, you can add salt to taste if needed. Same with sugar.

• Instead of mushrooms, you can also use chickpeas, following the same cooking method.
