This easy Japanese-style Napa Cabbage Stir-Fry makes a quick vegetable side or main dish for your lunch or dinner. My flavorful recipe balances savory smoked bacon and shiitake mushrooms with the slightly sweet flavor of napa cabbage that’s cooked until just tender. Full of dietary fiber and vitamins, it’s my favorite way to bring umami to this beloved Asian cabbage. {Vegetarian adaptable}
