Recipe information

  • Yield

    4 servings

Ingredients

1 (1-inch) piece ginger, peeled, finely grated
4 garlic cloves, finely grated
1 pound hot Italian sausage, casings removed
2 tablespoons (or more) vegetable oil
6 ounces shiitake mushrooms, thinly sliced
6 cups very thinly sliced Napa cabbage, divided
2 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/3 cup thinly sliced chives
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
2 teaspoons sesame seeds
8 large flour tortillas or mu-shu wraps, warmed
Hoisin sauce and Sriracha (for serving)

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Using your hands or a wooden spoon, work ginger and garlic into sausage in a medium bowl. Heat 2 Tbsp. vegetable oil in a large skillet, preferably cast iron, over medium-high and cook sausage mixture, breaking up with a wooden spoon, until browned, crisp, and cooked through, 6–8 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer sausage mixture to a clean bowl.

    Step 2

    Increase heat to high and cook mushrooms in the fat in the skillet, tossing often, until browned and starting to release their juices, about 4 minutes (if skillet looks dry at any point, add a bit more oil). Add half of cabbage and cook, tossing often, until cabbage is wilted and tender, about 4 minutes. Drizzle in vinegar and soy sauce and cook, tossing, until liquid is mostly reduced and skillet is dry in spots, about 2 minutes.

    Step 3

    Remove skillet from heat and mix chives, sausage, and remaining cabbage into stir-fry. Drizzle with sesame oil and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

    Step 4

    Serve stir-fry with tortillas, hoisin sauce, and Sriracha for making individual wraps.

This dish is not only a quick meal option but also a practical way to use leftover phở noodles when you’re out of broth.
Smothered Italian Sausage
This is what I call a fridge-eater recipe. The key here is getting a nice sear on the sausage and cooking the tomato down until it coats the sausage and vegetables well.
Crispy Oyster Mushroom Skewers With Bok Choy Salad
Oyster mushrooms are a strong all-rounder in the kitchen, seeming to straddle both plant and meat worlds in what they look and taste like when cooked. Here they’re coated in a marinade my mother used to use when cooking Chinese food at home—honey, soy, garlic and ginger—and roasted until golden, crisp, and juicy.

Cabbage is the unsung hero of the winter kitchen—available anywhere, long-lasting in the fridge, and super-affordable. It’s also an excellent partner for pasta.
Charred Vegetable Ragù
This sauce is slightly magical. The texture cloaks pasta much like a traditional meat sauce does, and the flavors are deep and rich, but it’s actually vegan!

This traditional dish of beef, sour cream, and mustard may have originated in Russia, but it’s about time for a version with ramen noodles, don’t you think?

The tofu is crunchy on the outside, in part thanks to a panko-studded exterior, and squishy-in-a-good-way on the inside. It also comes together in 20 minutes.
