The new year always sparks my resolve to eat more vegetables. I have not made this cashew cabbage recipe in a long time, but the flavors are wonderful. Plus, it's versatile. You can use what you have on hand.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Enjoy this cashew cabbage any night of the week. It's basically a cabbage stir-fry with an Asian flair. Shredded cabbage, carrots, celery, mushrooms, peppers, and onion cook down and absorb the flavors from the soy sauce and sesame oil. The cashews are almost crunchy compared to all of the soft veggies. A very easy side dish.
