Chinese Cabbage Stir Fry

February 13, 2020 By Marijana Miljkovic Leave a Comment

The recipe for this Chinese Cabbage Stir Fry was born using up wonderful leftovers in my fridge and totally unexpectedly blew my mind. In Germany, Chinese Cabbage is predominantly used to make salads and therefore, stir-frying it never really crossed my mind. Until one day, I wondered what to do with a leftover half Chinese cabbage in my fridge. Were there any other ways to turn this gorgeous vegetable into something beautiful other than salad? I started pondering – and this is how this delicious Chinese Cabbage Stir-Fry was created.

Before I dive into the recipe instructions, let me tell you briefly what kind of major health benefits this amazing Far Eastern vegetable has. Chinese Cabbage, also known as Napa Cabbage, is a great source of beta carotene, which we often associate with carrots and their bright color. Once consumed, beta carotene is transformed into vitamin A, which is great for our immune system. It is a free radical fighter, especially for the eye tissue, which is why carrots are always said to be good for your eyes. Beta carotene also promotes healthy skin and the mucous membranes. Furthermore, Chinese Cabbage contains soluble fiber and therefore increases good bacteria in your gut, which in turn helps us digest easier and supports our bowel functions. Another wonderful benefit of Chinese Cabbage is its ability to lower blood pressure due to its high content of calcium and potassium.

Let’s get into the kitchen now and start stir-frying.

Ingredients:

  • 1 medium-sized Chinese Cabbage
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil or butter
  • 3-4 Tbsp Tamari
  • 2 Tbsp black sesame seeds
  • Fresh coriander
  • Salt and pepper

Instructions:

Cut the cabbage into small pieces. Heat the olive oil or butter in a pan and stir the cabbage for a few minutes. You can turn the heat a bit higher so the cabbage gets crispy. Just be careful to not overcook it. It can still remain a little firm. When the cabbage has turned softer, add the tamari. Be careful with its use, as too much can ruin your dish. The amount needed depends highly on how big your cabbage is, therefore I suggest adding one spoon at a time. In the end, add the black sesame seeds, salt and pepper and garnish your dish with fresh coriander. We had some roasted sweet potatoes and hummus on the side, but feel free to serve this dish with whatever you wish. Bon appetit!

Merry Christmas ✨ It's a very special and extrao Merry Christmas ✨ It's a very special and extraordinary Christmas this year, where our wishes to stay safe and healthy suddenly get a completely new meaning ✨ Among all the sorrow, fear and insecurity of 2020, let's focus on the good things that happened this year. What were they for you? Having spent more time with your loved ones? New career perspectives that opened up? A new home (as in my case)? A newborn? A wedding? Having enjoyed the summer when things seemed easy for a while? Having taken care of yourself?✨
If we really think about it, we will find many things to be grateful for in 2020 ✨
Enjoy the holidays and take some time off of worrying ✨

Some of my highlights of this crazy year in terms Some of my highlights of this crazy year in terms of flying... Empty airports, empty aprons, empty airplanes, empty employee parking lots (which you usually have to wait 20 minutes for at rush hour) and all of us wearing masks...
For us in aviation it is heart-breaking to see our dream hitting rock-bottom and suffering so badly in this pandemic.
But we will spread our wings and come back and bring people together, with a smile on our lips and in our hearts, just as we used to do ❤️✈️

Being enlightened - what does that actually mean? Being enlightened - what does that actually mean? Knowing why we are here, what we are supposed to do or having figured out the deeper meaning of it all? And does it really matter? Because if anything, us humans are just a bunch of creatures who, frankly, don't know much at all. And sometimes that's all we need to know 👀
