I always stir-fry my green cabbage in a non-spicy way. Stir-frying it in a spicy way never cross my mind until I saw the Chinese cooking show where the chef cooked it with some dried chili. It gave me the idea of trying something new. This is a new dish for me and we liked it! I will certainly make this version more from now on.
I realized that the green cabbage sold in the Asian market is easier to stir-fry than the green cabbage I bought at the American supermarket. The one at the American supermarket is tougher and harder even after the longer time I spent stir-frying it. Definitely prefer the texture of the green cabbage I bought at the Asian market, not to say cheaper too.
Ingredients:
- 1/4 of one green cabbage, sliced
- A little diced carrot for color (optional)
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 2 Tbsp. of black bean in chili oil
- Salt and sugar to taste
Method:
1. Heat up your wok. When heated, add in a little cooking oil. When hot, add in minced garlic and black bean in chili oil and stir-fry until fragrant.
2. Add in cabbage and stir-fry until soft. Add in diced carrot (if used). Stir-fry well and season to taste with a little salt and sugar. Serve hot!

I like it spicy!!
I never try stir-fry cabbage the spicy way too. Maybe it's time to have a change. Thanks for the great idea! ;)
i love stir fries!
Actually, there are 2 types of round cabbage in the Western supermarket. One is green cabbage and another is savoy cabbage. If you bought the savoy cabbage, then yes, it is harder to soften in a stir-fry. But if you got the green round cabbage, then I think it is the same. I usually buy cabbage from the American supermarket, hee heee and not much trouble cooking them. :)
So in sync! I just posted my "stir-fried" cabbage too!
I "try" to put chili in everything =P
