The secret of this dish is pouring fish sauce on the curve of the wok (not right away on the cabbage) and let it burns a little bit to produce the smoky flavor of the fish sauce, then wipe that burnt fish sauce with your cabbage and the flavor will glaze over every pieces of your cabbage!! That is so GOOD!!!!
I've been cooking for 30 years. This is the best recipe I've ever seen for so many reasons. Cost, time, taste, texture, flavor, health and many more. Extremely impressive. Thank you.
I’m Thai and my husband is Irish, so he’s not familiar with fish sauce. I cook him a lot of Thai food and when the fish sauce is the key seasoning, I’d keep saying how good and how magical fish sauce is every time, so now I think he gets it. When I made fish sauce fried chicken wings (your recipe) I kept saying there’s a magical ingredient and he knew it was fish sauce. Yes if he’s gonna have a Thai wife he has to appreciate fish sauce.
My family is largely Slavic so I grew up on cabbage. This will be just like home cookin!! Love it, and thanks again Pailin for all you do to keep our kitchen interesting and fun!!
I made this tonight...It was awesome! Who would have thought just a few simple ingredients would be so tasty? Thank you so much for this. Your recipes have gotten me to love and enjoy fish sauce. (I never thought I would love it) only thing I added was ground pork marinated with soy sauce and white pepper so I could make it a full meal. So Amazing!
One week ago I tried this recipe and purchased the high quality fish oil. The smell was so foul but like you said it goes away and the end results was delicious! I made this dish again tonight and added shrimp. It is so good. I have always loved shrimp cabbage when I go to chinese buffets and always wanted to make and this recipe with added shrimp taste just like it. Awesome recipe. I hve take pictures to upload to you on twitter
My mom has been telling me about this for months. I swear every time I FaceTime with her she rants and raves about this dish. It’s very popular in Chiang Mai apparently and I never quite believed her that something so simple could be so amazing but it does look really good. I’ll definitely have to try it now 😁
So, Mom, who loves you more than anyone on Earth, tells you about this dish "for months" and you pay it no mind. Now some TH-cam person makes a video of it, and you are in a big rush now. What an insult to your dear mother.
This is one of my go to recipes to eat my vegetables. I usually add salt, pepper, little sugar, chicken powder. Insted of fish sauce I like to use sesame oil. Depend on my mood that day 😍
Ok, apparently I’m late to the game, but wow that recipe is outstanding! I’m making it tomorrow night as well! Thanks for that! I served it with bbq thai wings and sticky rice. Dinner was great!
I just watched this video as I’ve been looking for cabbage dishes…. This looks so delicious, with a bit of fresh chilli… even with noodles too yummy ❤❤
I'm so glad you have this recipe! I recently had this several times at different restaurants on Koh Sichang. It was a great side dish with grilled squid, Tamarind shrimp or the salt-crusted grilled fish. So simple and I will make when I find a better quality fish sauce.
I just made and ate this, along with the cabbage-fish sauce recipe: delicious! Instead of chicken I used vegetarian soy hamburger and I used my new air fryer to pre-fry the eggplant. That worked extremely well but took a long time as my air fryer is small. I also didn't cut the biased eggplant sliced in half until after frying to save time turning them. Other than that I followed the recipe using the exact same ingredients. Red Boat really is good, and only $8 at the asian supermarket.
I tried this recipe today and loved it! Loved that it is sooooo super simple and easy to make. Threw in some chopped spring onions just to dress it up a bit. Turned out quite well. I will definitely be making this dish more often.
This is the thing I've always cook at home when i first discovered the beauty of Thai fish sauce! Now i cant live without it. Good replacement for dried anchovies. It goes well with literally everything, even with Sarawakian dish (stir fry fern we called as Midin, stir fry sour-eggplant etc). Ref: sour-eggplant (terung dayak/terung assam/muuk in thai? No?/Solanum ferox Linn) also good in terms of adding sourness to thai tomyum. It will be soft when cooked, something like cooked cucumber.
I just had this at a Thai Chicken Rice joint in Southern California, but instead of Fish Sauce they used Oyster Sauce. It was like Garlicky Cabbage Crack. Not that I’ve ever tried crack, but it was addictive! I loved it!
I'm making this tonight! I am doing a whole roast chicken with like a dark soy sauce and hoisin glaze.... I think it'll go perfectly together!! Thanks Pailin!!!
Hello Pailin. This is an amazingly simple and tasty dish that I cooked repeatedly for weeks now with soy sauce. My carnivore husband said he doesn't even need meat with this dish! ❤️ from New Zealand.
Simply but delish. I used the sauté ginger, garlic and a little sprinkle of pepper flakes and 2 tomatoes then I’ll add the cabbage. And later on I’ll put soy sauce. It’s so delicious. I’m going to try this one. Umm you made hungry and with rice of course.
I tried today and used wrong cabbage, round cannonball cabbage... boy, it tastes so bitter 😰 But I must say the RED BOAT fish sauce brand is super awesome! I cooked 2 ways, with 3-crabs brand and Red Boat for comparison. Just because it's the very first time I bought this Red Boat premium fish sauce and always have 3-crabs brand at home. The 3-crabs tastes salty with fishy smell still left on the dish. It looks browney, too, when done cooking, due to fractose ingredient in it. The Red Boat has a very good nice aroma while sauteeing, I was surprised that I kept sniffing on my cooking, the smell is that good! 😁. The result is also not too salty, subtle yet savory and don't look browney at all, just like yours 🥰 The bitterness of the cabbage made this supposedly good simple dish unpleasant to eat! It took time to get softened in the wok, too 🥴😭 Will try making this again by looking for the flat/taiwanese cabbage. I never see it in Honolulu Chinatown 🤔
I surely will give this a try! Reminds me of a polish dish where you cook some (few) onions in oil and than add noodles to it. A poor man's dish. But also simple and yummy. Some simple recipes can be so exciting! Greetings from the far north of Germany!
This is indeed simple but delicious. Thank you for sharing your recipe. And btw I tried changed the oil with water (just tiny tiny bit) and this is still yumm
Thank you for the recipe, Pailin. I don’t have fish sauce with me. So I substitute it with soy sauce and oyster sauce. I added birds eyes chilies for the extra kick too. My lunch was so good.
Great timing! I just bought cabbage :) In Vietnam we have a similar dish with cabbage and garlic stir-fried, but we don't use fish sauce for this dish despite our love for it :)
Sawadee Kap Pailin, I have tried it before you post the video, it super delicious. When I was in Thailand 2 months ago, I tried it, they usually put a little oyster sauce and some put some corn starch to get a bit thick sauce. Both your version and the one I had in Thailand is delicious,. In my version, I had added dried shitake mushroom in my version which was nice too. As usual, your videos are super easy.
Pailin, I always look forward to Friday when the little notification pops up on my phone, informing me of your new upload. I take a deep breath, walk to work, and everything seems to feel much better. Your videos are incredibly therapeutic! Thank you! 🙏🏻😇
I make a very similar Chinese dish. I have to say that Western cabbage is hardier than the one that she's using, and if you use it, then you'll have to cook it longer. Her cabbage looks so tender
I encounter that problem as well where the tough areas around the root will be still hard and cold by the time the tender areas are cooked and limp. My stove also doesn't have a big fire either. I get around these issues by blanching the cabbage pieces for 10 seconds first before proceeding with frying them.
I have made this so many times and Chinese cabbage is the best. I was at my asian market and was in a hurry and grabbed the cabbage and while it was more squat it was not the Chinese cabbage it was the green cabbage, which I did not notice until prepping it. The leaves were tough and was hard to get tender...I was disappointed for sure but I was hungry and it didn't stop me from eating it, but ...
My family (Chinese) often does the exact same preparation but with oyster sauce, and of course it works with so many vegetables - most cabbages, bok choy, etc. But my favorite happens to be lettuce, which to many seems even more bizarre, but are amazed when they try it.
Appreciate your cooking style and the variety of menu specially the Asian cooking.in the Philippines when you dine in a restaurant offering Thai cooking,you are always offered tom yung and it is always with shrimps and I found out you call it tom yung going and there are kind of tumyung.now I have learn to cook the three popular soup dishes.i hope you can also cook Malaysian and Vietnam cookings
Remembered this today as I was trying to think of a way to stir fry some 🥬 large bok Chou hubby picked up instead of Napa cabbage I’d asked for (Kroger had bok choy labelled as napa) And can’t have meat today and a bit tired of standard Chinese stir fry. I’ll report back after lunch how well it worked and with 3 crabs 🦀, my fav fish sauce.
I've always wanted to try cooking thai food but was too scared to. that is until I crossed your channel. i love it btw. i can't wait to start making thai food.
Just started watching a Thai tv show called Once Upon a time...in my Heart and I'm completely in love with it! I'd love to learn your language someday😊😊
Oh boy im SO hype to make this! I looooove cabbage, and garlic is amazing too. Mmmm. I dont have good fish sauce at home but im making this tomorrow anyway
The subtile peace at 3:31 man you killed me XD XD XD I symphatise with you Adam, I also wouldn't go to close within range of getting hit with a big spoon XD

Usually when you add alot of sodium, things taste good. This small bowl is over 1200mg, more than half your daily recommended intake..

How can anyone not like fish sauce =D
or Thai wives?
Thanwarin Carroll easy you psychopath stop being ghetto for a second or gtfo.... this is a friendly TH-cam channel.
As he should 😏🥰
If he doesn’t appreciate it, move to Canada. I do! Lol
My family is largely Slavic so I grew up on cabbage. This will be just like home cookin!! Love it, and thanks again Pailin for all you do to keep our kitchen interesting and fun!!
I really like all stir fry recipes from this channel. Simple prep and easy to make.

I love simply prepared vegetables like this! Thank you Pailin!
I understand that I'm late to the party, but goodness this has to be the best cabbage I've had in decades!

Thank you so much
Just mare this today. It’s so simple but so yummy!!! Thank you so much for sharing!

Great recipe. I enjoy making this with napa cabbage. Thank you and have a great 2022.
Quick and simple recipe to try on my own, greatful that I get to more recipes like this. Thank you...
This is the thing I've always cook at home when i first discovered the beauty of Thai fish sauce! Now i cant live without it. Good replacement for dried anchovies.
It goes well with literally everything, even with Sarawakian dish (stir fry fern we called as Midin, stir fry sour-eggplant etc).

I love this! Please share more of these "less glamorous", simple dishes. :)
Omg, i cant stop making this! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
You are the BEST......Take care and keep up the good work ....Thanks

Really great dish. I tried many variations of it and it's a proper every day healthy food. Thank ya, Pailin!
I had this in Korat a month ago and loved it, will make this all the time now.
This was delicious and so simple! Thank you!

It is very nice.
Tq for your recipe.

Hello Pailin. This is an amazingly simple and tasty dish that I cooked repeatedly for weeks now with soy sauce. My carnivore husband said he doesn't even need meat with this dish!

I put some finely sliced fresh but slightly fried red chilly. It was lovely

Making this dish today with my cabbage in my fridge 😋
This looks like a winner Pai
That dish is same kind of mirracle! I am a believer now!
Very simple dish but crazy delicious, for sure...
My family (Chinese) often does the exact same preparation but with oyster sauce, and of course it works with so many vegetables - most cabbages, bok choy, etc. But my favorite happens to be lettuce, which to many seems even more bizarre, but are amazed when they try it.
OMG you have no idea - you just saved the evening supper 🍜
Smokey flavor from wok is a secret for this dish.
This was amazing with lime
I love cabbage!
Its cabbage season now and this recipe is easy and delicious 😋
รอสิ่งนี้มานานมากกกกกก ขอบคุณค่ะ

And can’t have meat today and a bit tired of standard Chinese stir fry.
I’ll report back after lunch how well it worked and with 3 crabs 🦀, my fav fish sauce.

I've always wanted to try cooking thai food but was too scared to. that is until I crossed your channel. i love it btw. i can't wait to start making thai food.
simple but super delicious
i just made this and is really good just added some chili and i eat this as a main dish (low calories)
Oh YES!! My family loves for sautéed cabbage, or really cabbage in anyway! I can’t wait to try this out in them. 💚
Just started watching a Thai tv show called Once Upon a time...in my Heart and I'm completely in love with it! I'd love to learn your language someday😊😊
Yum, simple and delicious. I need to check out your fish sauce review.
I tried this for dinner and yummmmm
😋😋😋 simple homecooked and delish. This and pakbung 🙌🙌🙌
Oh boy im SO hype to make this! I looooove cabbage, and garlic is amazing too. Mmmm. I dont have good fish sauce at home but im making this tomorrow anyway
I was just looking at your Thai mix veg stir fry and your new video came in.
Another awesome vegetable dish.
Thumbs up and awesome ! 💕👍🏻
Some shrimp jerky works really well too. It adds extra chewiness and extra umami :D
I think I really can follow this recipe. Garlic and cabbage are my favorite. Fish sauce just the best to my taste 👏😋
we do cooking that kind of dish in our country(Philippines) too. it looks so simple and yet the taste is really good.
The subtile peace at 3:31 man you killed me XD XD XD
I symphatise with you Adam, I also wouldn't go to close within range of getting hit with a big spoon XD
Had a charred version of this in Koh Samui. Adds a great flavor since there are only 3 ingredients
Taiwanese household - we do this once a week but with soy sauce. Now I'm super curious to try it with fish sauce!
Thank you, Pailin. Just what I had been thinking of.
I cook it and my dad loves it
looks easy enough........thank you
Love it so simple delicious and loaded with nutrition 👌🏻
Love cabbage..this is a must do!!
I love cabbage in any form...
