Cabbage with Val Beans (mochai) aka Hyacinth Beans - Stir fry

Has anyone seen the documentary "2 Million Minutes"? If you have what did you think of it.

This time we move right ahead to the recipe without too much talk,

Cabbage is one of those vegetables that is versatile and lends itself to any recipe. I have not heard anyone say it is their favorite vegetable neither is it mine. Don't know how but it is always there ready to be used.

I had some soaked Val Beans left over after making this gravy and it lay there for a week. Add some green beans to the mix and a tasty stir fry dish was on its way.
