Stir fry Chinese Cabbage

Stir fry dishes are one of my favorite recipes. Aside from the fact that it is easy to cook, you can just simply combine whatever vegetables or meat that you like. For some, they like to eat this with steamed white rice, or they can also make this as a side dish. Most likely the preparation is longer than the cooking time, unless you are a pro in slicing stuff. The main ingredient of this recipe is Chinese Cabbage, this vegetable is rich in Calcium for your bones and teeth. Another benefit of Chinese cabbage is that it is rich in Potassium which is good for water balance and metabolism. This dish is very light and easy to cook. This is perfect for people who are busy and is trying to be healthy. Enjoy!
