“My daughter makes this yummy stir-fry often for our family. It goes together so quickly. The peanuts and chunky peanut butter give it a nice crunch. Leftovers—if there are any—are great!”—Shirley Conrad, High Amana, Iowa

I was a bit skeptical about this one, but it was FANTASTIC! My family has made it one of their favorites! A definite must try recipe!

I was hesitant to make this because I usually do not like ginger, but I did not even notice the ginger flavor in this dish. I also did not have crunchy peanut butter on hand, so I used creamy and it was still great. I don't think you even notice once you add the chopped peanuts. The leftovers heated up really well and so I will definitely make this again.

This recipe is simple, delicious and adds a new dimension to the typical stir-fry. The peanut butter and cabbage make this dish out of this world.

Delicious! I only had creamy peanut butter on hand and it was just as good. I will be making this dish all the time!
