in Recipes, Dinner, Meal Red curry cabbage and pork stir-fry
Putting a Thai spin on the ultra-popular "crack slaw" recipe makes this low carb stir-fry recipe even more addictive. In this version, we add spicy red curry and fresh cilantro to elevate the taste and add flavor complexity. Addictive taste aside, this dish comes together in no time!

Instructions
- Fry the cabbage in half of the butter in a large frying pan or wok on medium-high heat until softened, about 5-6 minutes.
- Season with salt, pepper, and turmeric. Add the vinegar. Sauté until fragrant. Place the cabbage in a bowl and reserve.
- Melt the rest of the butter in the same pan. Add garlic, ginger, onion, and red curry paste and fry for 1 minute. Add the ground meat, stirring and breaking apart, until the meat is cooked through, for about 5 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low, and add the cabbage to the pan. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add more red curry paste if needed.
- For serving, garnish with cilantro.
Tips
To turn this into a lovely creamy curry, add 1/4 can of coconut cream per serving, in step 4.
To increase the protein, you could also serve this dish with a fried egg on top.
You can use ground turkey in place of pork if you prefer.
Feel free to use napa cabbage or white cabbage in place of green cabbage.

Cabbage is especially one of the world's most nutrient dense vegetables readily available for us to enjoy, rich in essential vitamins such as C, B6, K, saturated fat, thiammin, calcium, iron, magnesium phosphorus and a good source of dietary fibers.
But I never liked any cabbage recipe other than in noodles.
This cabbage recipe when I tried at home was not really appreciated by my family but it was really yummy too. Thanks for sharing this delicious preparation. Keep posting wonderful recipes like this.
Great addition Chris, thank you. This will be a regular for us too.
