Cabbage Stir-Fry With Coconut and Lemon image

I've made this stir-fry with a variety of cabbages that we get in our farm share, including savoy and napa, but it's also quite delicious with regular old green or purple cabbage and even finely shredded Brussels sprouts.

Yield Serves 4-6

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup unsweetened grated coconut (fresh, frozen, or dried)
2 tablespoons mild-flavored oil, such as canola
1 teaspoon yellow or black mustard seeds
2 teaspoons chana dal (the split kernel of a variety of chickpea) and/or urad dal (black gram beans), or 2 teaspoons lightly crushed yellow split peas
1-2 dried red chiles, broken in half
1 small head of cabbage (about 1 1/2 pounds), trimmed, cored, finely chopped (about 8 cups)
3/4 teaspoon (or more) kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro leaves
1 tablespoon (or more) fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Thaw frozen coconut or soak dried coconut in a little hot water to plump up.
  • Heat oil in a wok or large skillet over medium until shimmering. Add 1 mustard seed. When seed sizzles and pops, add remaining mustard seeds, cover, and cook until seeds start popping, about 10 seconds. When popping starts to subside, immediately add chana dal. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, tossing constantly, until dals are reddish golden brown and smell nutty, about 2 minutes. Add chiles and toss to coat. Add cabbage, salt, and turmeric and cook, stirring, until cabbage wilts but still has a little crunch, 3-5 minutes. Add coconut and cook until heated through, about 1 minute more.
  • Remove from heat. Stir in cilantro and lemon juice. Taste and add more lemon juice and salt if needed.

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 20m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon mustard oil
1 tablespoon black mustard seeds
2 bay leaves
1 medium head of cabbage (cored and finely shredded)
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon chili pepper flakes (optional)
4 fresh, hot green chilies (, , cut into long thin strips)
1/3 cup grated desiccated coconut

Steps:

  • First heat the mustard oil in a wok (or large frying pan).
  • When the oil is heated, add the mustard seeds and bay leaves.
  • When mustard seeds turn gray and start popping (a few seconds) add the cabbage, salt and sugar.
  • Quickly toss the cabbage in the oil until it’s lightly coated with oil and add coconut, green chili and optional pepper flakes.
  • Keep stirring for 2-5 minutes until the cabbage turns bright green and slightly wilted (but still somewhat crunchy).
  • Serve with Basmati rice.
  • Note: this dish is also excellent with Brussels sprouts or green beans instead of the cabbage.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cabbage: For this recipe, it's best to use a firm, green cabbage. Avoid cabbages that are wilted or have brown spots.
  • Cut the cabbage thinly: This will help it cook evenly and absorb the flavors of the other ingredients.
  • Use fresh mustard seeds: Fresh mustard seeds have a more pungent flavor than ground mustard seeds. If you can't find fresh mustard seeds, you can substitute ground mustard seeds, but use half the amount.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the cabbage, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the cabbage from cooking evenly and becoming soggy.
  • Cook the cabbage until it's tender: The cabbage should be cooked until it's tender, but still has a bit of a crunch. Overcooked cabbage will be mushy and bland.
  • Add the coconut at the end: Adding the coconut at the end of the cooking process will prevent it from burning.

Conclusion:

This cabbage with mustard seeds and coconut is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. The cabbage is cooked until it's tender and flavorful, and the mustard seeds and coconut add a nice crunch and sweetness. This dish is also a good source of vitamins and minerals, making it a healthy choice for your next meal.
