Pork Cabbage Stir Fry

Recently I had made a pork cottage roll (aka cottage ham) that was boiled with cabbage. My family enjoyed the cabbage and they've been asking me if we could have cabbage again soon.

Last night I wanted to make a stir fry and had some leftover pork roast in the fridge. After thinking about the cabbage and the stir fry I decided to wing it and see what stir fry cabbage tasted like.

The stir fry was a hit and there wasn't anything left after dinner. Makes me smile when everyone enjoys something new that they've never had before.

Ingredients 

  • 2 tablespoons of either vegetable, canola, or olive oil 
  • 2 - 3 cups of cooked pork roast cut up into bite size pieces
  • 1 large onion sliced
  • 1/4 cup of chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 medium head of green cabbage sliced (remove the core) 
  • Fresh ground pepper


Let's Get Cooking
Heat the pork with the onions until pork is heated through.
 Add the broth and cabbage to the wok and stir fry.

  1. In a wok or a large frying pan heat the vegetable oil over medium high heat. To the wok add the pork and onions. Stir fry long enough to heat the pork through. 
  2. Add the broth, sliced cabbage, pepper, and stir.
  3. Stir fry for approximately ten minutes or until the cabbage is cooked to your liking.
  4. Serve by itself or as a side dish, and ENJOY!





Does cabbage give you gas? Here's a tip that may help.

When cooking the cabbage simply add a few caraway or cumin seeds to the pot. This will help you digest the cabbage easier.
