The purpose of this blog is to demonstrate how a base recipe, in this case Stir Fry Cabbage Recipes, can create a new recipe with a few ingredient changes. First, we create a recipe, then we taste the recipe, then we change up the ingredients to develop a new recipe from the original recipe. This is the innovative part of the process. That is why our approach to cooking is: create, taste, innovate.

How to Serve Heath Cabbage Recipe:
- Serve the Healthy Cabbage Recipe (No Sugar Added) as the main entrée with a side of rice, quinoa, couscous, or roasted potatoes.
Notes
In this Healthy Cabbage Recipe (No Sugar Added) I am using fresh cherry tomatoes. For the tomatoes canned diced tomatoes will work as well. They are inexpensive and easy to use so I always recommend them in recipes. I have also used sun dried tomatoes, black olives, and roasted red peppers in this dish. I encourage you to try a variety of ingredients to pair with the eggplant and cabbage. I am intentionally keeping this recipe sugar free by not adding any sweet sauces or sugar. The natural sugars from the vegetables provide a wonderful flavor when enhanced by the salt, ground black pepper, and sauce. However, if you want a little bit of a sweeter dish, add in your favorite stir fry sauce, teriyaki sauce, or favorite sweet sauce.
