Stir-Fried Curried Cabbage

This was making use of the Raya bazaar selling all sorts of goodies. I bought some beef rendang home and had initially planned to pair it with some turmeric fried cabbage. But my turmeric was looking all wonky which I suspect it’s due to passed expiration date. So I scatter to find the best next solution….my curry powder. I have no idea how the taste would come out cos it won’t be a curry-curry dish like with lots of gravy but I went with it anyways.

It was good….not fantastic, but good. I think I need to adjust the seasoning again after this but when the cabbage was paired together with the rendang, it makes up for a pretty awesome meal. This was my favourite simple way of eating them, rendang, plain rice, an egg and the cabbage. If there were some papadams then it would be even more awesome but this was good nonetheless.
