Cabbage Sweet Potato Stir Fry a tasty way to make a meal.
This Cabbage Sweet Potato combination is pretty and scrumptious.
Cabbage Sweet Potato Stir Fry
I created this Cabbage Sweet Potato Stir Fry recipe a few years ago when I didn't feel like running out to the store to purchase fresh vegetables. Both cabbage and sweet potatoes are vegetables that will last a long time in your vegetable crisper. And I usually have them in my refrigerator. Since I have been cooking forever, I can easily make a meal out of ingredients I have on hand. And with the pandemic lockdown in place, we aren't going to the grocery store often. This meal turned out great. Both the sweet potatoes and the cabbage make it a little sweet. The fennel seeds add just the right boost of flavor. And the chicken adds good protein.
Of course, you usually can't go wrong when you stir fry onions, garlic and other fresh vegetables. Just about any vegetables work in a stir fry. One note of warning, green beans are good in stir fry, too, but they tend to overwhelm the flavor of the dish so I leave them out when I make something that has subtle flavors.
What You Need
You will need knives, a cutting board, measuring cups and spoons, and a large skillet or wok. I use a big (12") Cuisinart nonstick skillet (affiliate link) to cook a stir fry. It is a versatile pan that works well for me. But you can use a wok. It works even better.

I made this and we loved it. I left out the fennel cos I did not have
any on hand, and added some chopped spinach. I will be making this
often. It is delish.
