Onions (but if your husband hates them, ignore him)
Carrots (adds sweetness, good crunch)
Mushrooms (only if you enjoy chaos and questionable life choices)
Bell Peppers (adds color, sweetness, and crunch)
Zucchini (soaks up flavor like a champ)
Snap Peas (for a fresh, slightly crunchy bite)
Green Onions (because they make everything better)

Step 2: Sauté Until It’s Soft (But Not Mushy)

Throw everything in a big pan with some olive oil.
Sauté over medium heat until the cabbage softens and gets a little golden.

If you’re scared of tofu, first of all, stop being a baby—it’s fine and it absorbs flavor like a boss.
