Crab Flakes & Napa Cabbage Stir-Fry

When I’m craving for stir-fry without having to chop all sorts of fresh vegetables and meat or seafood, I rely on using 2 main ingredients. It’s always nice having packs of imitation crab flakes and some type of cabbage. Napa cabbage and bok choy are pretty much staple vegetable items in my grocery list. They’re good for stir-fries or soups.

I wanted stir-fry dish for lunch the other day without doing the usual elaborate steps in cooking it so I grabbed a pack of crab flakes and a few leaves of napa cabbages, chopped them up, sautéed, seasoned, and VOILA, lunch was ready.
