Cabbage and Vegetarian Stuff

Cabbage and Vegetarian Stuff

Ingredients:

Cabbage

Can of vegetarian chop suey

Oyster sauce

Oil

Garlic

Salt

Pepper

Sugar

Soy sauce

I barely ate today seeing as it was the first Friday of Lent and I wasn't prepared. I beat up two of my students at lunch for lunch money. Unfortunately the cafeteria ran out of vegetarian options and cheese pizza. My last resort was Mac and cheese but I'm lactose intolerant! Thus I came home and cooked dinner immediately. Immediately being after a quick trip to my local farmers market store to pick up a head of cabbage. 

Peel the cabbage leaves off so you use about half of a head. Cut and wash the half head of cabbage. Chop up some garlic and saute it with oil until the garlic is browned. Add the cabbage in there, add s&p and cover it so it cooks for a little while. 

I added some chicken broth so it wouldn't burn (you can use water). Uncover the cabbage when it looks like it's 75% done. 

Add the can of vegetable chop suey (which you can only get at Asian markets), mix it into the cabbage and cover for another few minutes. Add sugar, oyster sauce and soy sauce to flavor. 

And of course I have to eat it with rice...and have two heaping portions of it.

Portabello Mushroom
Cilantro
Celery
1 Can Diced Tomato

Squirt of Hot Sauce

I went to Frugal Farmer and came home with a bunch of vegetables that needed to be cooked so I threw everything together with a can of tomatos that were diced. I feel like it was pretty successful. Very vegetarian friendly and healthy too. Since I am a carb addict I had to put that vegetable mess on top of something. Pasta cooks faster than rice, so pasta it was. Going to bring some to my co-workers tomorrow who are vegetarian.
