How Long Cabbage Stir Fry Will it Last in the Fridge?

Cover and seal the cabbage or use an airtight container.

You can keep it in the fridge for 2-3 days.

How Shoud You Cut Cabbage?

Let’s start by removing all the external leaves from the cabbage, then pass it under running water in order to remove any dirt that may be present on the outside.

Then remove the stem and divide in two.

From each half, completely remove the core by incising the cabbage.

The next step is to cut the cabbage in half again, so as to make four parts.

Cut each part into strips and place them in a bowl as they are cut.

The width of the strips depends on the use we are going to make of the cabbage: if we are going to prepare it stir fry, we will need very thin strips, whereas if we want to prepare a soup, we will need thicker strips.

Enjoy!
