Are you short on time and money? No one would be able to tell if you serve them this Sweet and Sour Napa Cabbage dish.
Napa cabbage aka Chinese cabbage belongs to the healthiest vegetables out there - cruciferous vegetables.
It is often used to make kimchi, a traditional Korean dish made of spicy fermented vegetables. Whereas making kimchi takes a couple of days, the Sweet and Sour Napa Cabbage is ready to eat in a manner of minutes! It really depends on how fast you can cut your veggies and if you have some leftover rice. :o)
