This quick and easy chicken cabbage stir-fry is a great weeknight meal. It’s healthy, nutritious, gluten-free, paleo and Whole30 friendly.
I know how much you guys love quick and easy meals, so today I am sharing my quick and easy cabbage stir fry recipe. I often make this with my pre-made stir fry sauce, which saves me even more time, but this recipe will list all the ingredients you need to whip this up in less than 20 minutes
Coconut aminos is a paleo and Whole30 friendly version of soy sauce made from coconut sap. Learn more about coconut aminos here. If you can’t find this sauce online or at your local health food store, you can use Tamari wheat-free sauce. Please note that Tamari is naturally brewed, gluten-free soy sauce and it’s not 100% paleo or Whole30 compliant, but it’s still a healthier version of soy sauce and I often use it cooking.
Napa cabbage is also known as Chinese cabbage or wombok. Its leaves are lighter and more tender than a regular cabbage, so it cooks quickly and is lovely raw in salads. It has a milder, sweeter and less peppery flavour compared to regular white cabbage. You can often find it in the supermarkets and definitely at an Asian grocer, but regular white cabbage is absolutely fine to use as well. I like to buy a whole Napa cabbage and use up the green, outer leaves in an Asian salad and the thicker, whiter parts in a stir-fry
