5 Ingredient Asian Spiced Red Cabbage with Plums Side Dish
Most recipes come about in my kitchen as a beautiful necessity late on a Tuesday night and later find themselves in constant rotation on my dinner table; this 5 ingredient Asian spiced red cabbage with plums side dish is one of them. Perfectly spiced, this baked purple cabbage dish studded with black plums pairs perfectly with a teriyaki marinated pork loin or any Asian flavored main dish.
I had a teriyaki marinated pork loin on hand for supper but instead of the usual rice, cucumber side, I realized I had neither on hand. My fridge held a large head of purple cabbage, but not the customary apple accompaniment. I did however have an abundance of black plums. This recipe is filled with warming flavors thanks to Chinese 5 Spice Powder and the cutting sweetness of plum fruit.
3 Reasons Why This Savory Black Plum Recipe Works:
- Everything bakes on a sheet pan in the oven, freeing up your time to concentrate on other things.
- Chinese 5 Spice Powder is a powerful combination of sweet and sour flavors that perfectly compliment the spicey undertones of cabbage with the sweetness of the plums.
- This 5 Ingredient Asian Spiced Red Cabbage with Plums Side Dish pairs perfectly with roasted meats, especially teriyaki seasoned protein.
