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!
