cabbage fried rice

This cabbage fried rice takes less than 30 minutes and is a great way to use up left-over rice. It's a breeze and has fabulous Asian-inspired flavor.

Cabbage Fried Rice

green cabbage ((about 8 cups), finely sliced)

large carrot (1 cup peeled and grated)

onion (1 cup, finely diced)

Tbsp cooking oil

RiceSelect Jasmati Rice

salt

unsalted butter

Tbsp Soy Sauce

tsp sesame oil (this gives the rice an authentic Asian aroma & flavor)

salt (or

tsp black pepper (or to taste)

Rinse 1 cup rice about 4 times or until water runs almost clear; drain well and cook rice according to package instructions with 1 Tbsp butter and 1/2 tsp salt. You can also use a rice maker. Once it's cooked, remove from heat and set aside.

Finely slice the cabbage (a mandolin is the fastest way to slice cabbage)

Fine dice the onion and grate the carrot.

Heat a large, heavy bottomed skillet or a Wok over very high heat. Add 2 Tbsp cooking oil then toss in the sliced cabbage, carrot and onion. Sauté over very high heat for 7-10 minutes until cabbage is wilted and starting to turn a little golden. Stir constantly so it doesn't scorch to the bottom of the pan. The veggies will shrink down to about 1/3 or 1/2 of their original size.

Add in 2 Tbsp butter and 3 cups cooked rice. Stir to combine. Add 2 Tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp sesame oil, plus salt and pepper to taste (I didn't use salt and sprinkled in 1/8 tsp pepper). Stir well to combine and serve.

This cabbage rice is Indian style fried rice made with cabbage, onions, tomatoes and spices.

Cabbage Rice

basmati rice

water (for pressure cooking rice)

cumin seeds

cinnamon

green cardamoms

cloves

tej patta ((indian bay leaf))

medium onion (chopped

tomato (chopped

½ inch ginger + 4 medium garlic + 1

cabbage (or 3 cups of shredded cabbage

turmeric powder ((ground turmeric))

red chili powder

¼ teaspoon Garam Masala Powder

coriander powder ((ground coriander))

coriander leaves ((cilantro leaves)

Pick and rinse 1 cup (200 grams) basmati rice in running water till the water runs clear of starch. Soak the rice in enough water for 30 minutes. Later drain the rice and keep aside.

Add the rice in a pressure cooker. Also add 1.5 cups water and 1/4 tsp salt.

Pressure cook the rice for 2 to 3 whistles or for 9 to 10 minutes on a medium flame.&nbsp;

When the pressure comes down on its own, open the lid and fluff the rice with a fork. Keep aside and let the rice become warm or cool down at room temperature.

cooking rice

When the rice is cooking, shred or grate 250 grams cabbage. You can also chop the cabbage. 250 grams cabbage gives about 3 cups of shredded cabbage. Keep aside.&nbsp;

Also crush 1/2 inch ginger + 4 medium garlic + 1 or 2 green chilies, in a mortar-pestle. Chop one medium onion as well as one medium tomato. Keep aside.

Before shredding the cabbage, peel and remove the top skin from the cabbage. Rinse and then halve or quarter the cabbage and blanch in hot water for about 5 minutes.

preparation for cabbage rice

Heat 2 to 2.5 tbsp oil in a frying pan or wok. On a low to medium flame, add the whole spices - 1 tsp cumin seeds, 1 inch cinnamon, 2 green cardamoms, 2 cloves and 1 small to medium tej patta. Saute the spices till they splutter and become fragrant.

Then add 1/3 cup chopped onions.

On a medium flame, stir and saute the onions till translucent.

Next add crushed 1/2 inch ginger + 4 medium garlic + 1 or 2 green chilies. You can crush in a mortar-pestle.

Saute till the raw aroma of ginger and garlic goes away.

Next add 1/3 cup chopped tomatoes.&nbsp;stir well.

Then add 1/4 tsp turmeric powder, 1/4 tsp red chili powder, 1/4 tsp garam masala powder and 1/2 tsp coriander powder.

On a medium flame, stir and saute the whole masala till the tomatoes soften and become pulpy. You should also see oil releasing from the sides.

Now add the shredded cabbage.&nbsp;at this step, if you want then you can also add grated carrot, green peas and chopped potato cubes.

Mix the cabbage very well with the rest of the masala.

Season with salt as per taste.

Stir fry the cabbage on a medium flame and cook them till they turn translucent.

Then add the cooked rice.

Gently mix the rice with the cabbage mixture. You can also add the rice in parts and mix.

Saute the cabbage fried rice for 2 to 3 minutes more after mixing.

Garnish with coriander leaves or mint leaves.

Serve cabbage rice hot with a simple dal or raita or you can also have it plain.

This recipe is the best cabbage fried rice recipe I've ever had

Quick, flavourful and tasty. My daughter loved it.

Great new way to incorporate more cabbage into our diet. Really delicious! Made it with red cabbage and brown rice. However I'm unsure if you meant one should blanch the cabbage in cold, salted water or boil it for 10 minutes? I boiled it and turned out great, but it's of course a loss of nutrients.

Hi Swasthi, 

Thank you so much for this recipe. I have tried the recipe and it turned out really tasty. I am going to try it with red cabbage next time. 

Thanks
