Easy Cabbage Stir Fry

The other day, my husband Marcus, made a delicious meal using odds and ends from the fridge. Sometimes the best meals come out of using the leftovers!  This Easy Cabbage Stir Fry was a perfect example of that.  He posted a pic of the meal in my Facebook group, and a lot of people wanted the recipe.  So he made it again with measurements, so I could share it with you.  If you love cabbage, you will also like my Cabbage Salad and my Asian Slaw.

This meal whips up in less than 40 minutes.  It’s vegan, gluten free and even paleo friendly.  It’s also budget friendly. If you wanted to bump up the protein, you can always serve it over quinoa.
