The water released from the cabbage will mix through, creating an abundance of crazy good sauce!

Made this twice already, it’s delicious but we skip the sweetener and double the sauce.
I made this stir fry this evening and it was delicious! My family loved it. I served it over steamed rice and a side of crackers.
