This recipe was submitted to Cook the Commonwealth by Norman Musa, an internationally recognised chef and promoter of Malaysian cuisine. If you enjoy cooking this, why not check out his new cookbook, “Bowlful: Fresh and vibrant dishes from Southeast Asia". A side dish for the famous Malaysian Nasi Kandar, this cabbage stir- fry is fried with turmeric more for the colour than flavouring. The cabbage is quickly fried on a high heat to keep the sweetness and crunchiness of it.
