Cabbage earns the center of the plate in Judy Leung’s stir-fry at The Woks of Life. Thin mung bean noodles wind through the vegetables and scrambled eggs, bringing a texture quite different from a bowl of wheat noodles or rice.
A useful change of pace
This is an appealing meal when the refrigerator has a partial cabbage and the pantry has noodles waiting for a purpose. The recipe uses dried chilies, garlic and scallion, with soy sauce and Shaoxing wine among its seasonings. Choose the vegetarian oyster-sauce option specified by the creator if you want to keep the dish vegetarian.
We would serve it on a broad platter rather than hiding the cabbage beneath extra toppings. The egg, leaves and translucent strands already provide visual contrast. For a larger table, pair it with another dish from our food recipe collection instead of treating it as a compulsory side of rice.
