This is nice as a simple, vegetarian dish. If you'd like to make it a little heartier, then I recommend adding a source of protein. Beef works well for the omnivores among us. Alternatively, a little bit of tofu could help round it out while keeping it vegetarian. I also sometimes enjoy jazzing it up a bit with a little bit of rice wine and/or some oyster sauce. Definitely not required. (And not typically used by Tyrians.) But I enjoy the extra layers of flavour that it adds.

Cabbage Stirfry

Ingredients

• 350g dried pasta (or ~500g fresh)
• 1 bowl of stirfry base (spice mix and soy sauce kept separate)
• 1 small head of cabbage, shredded

Directions

1. Boil and drain the pasta. Set aside.
2. Heat a Tbsp. or two of sesame oil over medium heat.
3. Add the stir-fry spice mix (ie. the aromatics: onion, garlic, ginger, and chilies) and stir-fry until fragrant and just softened (3-4 minutes).
4. Add the cabbage and stir-fry until wilted (~5 minutes).
5. Drizzle in the soy sauces. (You may also add a little rice wine or oyster sauce at this point if desired.)
6. Add the noodles, toss to combine, and stir-fry until heated through.
7. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.
8. Serve as-is or with 老干妈 (Laoganma), Sriracha, or another spicy condiment of your choice.
