Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
½ red onion , chopped
1 green bell pepper , chopped
1 ounce pepperoni (optional)
fine sea salt
1 pound cabbage , shredded
1 ½ cups marinara sauce
2 ounces shredded mozzarella, Parmesan, or feta cheese (optional)

Instructions

Preheat a large, deep skillet (with a lid) over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil, then saute the onion, bell pepper, and pepperoni, if using. Season with a ¼ teaspoon of salt and cook until the onion looks translucent, about 8 minutes.
Next, add the shredded cabbage, another ½ teaspoon of salt, and the marinara sauce. Stir well, then cover the pan with the lid and let the veggies cook for 8 more minutes.
Remove the lid and stir the veggies. There may be excess liquid in the pot at this point, so cook for 4-5 more minutes with the lid off, until that has evaporated, stirring often. Season with an additional ¼ teaspoon of salt, if needed, and top with cheese, if desired. It's ready to serve right away! For extra fiber, I like to serve this on top of white bean dip for creaminess.

Notes

Nutrition information is for half the batch with mozzarella cheese. This information is automatically calculated and is just an estimate, not a guarantee.

Storage Tip: You can store leftover stir fry in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. I make this as part of my meal prep routine, along with the bean dip, when I want a warm "salad" that can be quickly reheated.

Update Note: This recipe was updated in 2025 to use easier ingredients. It originally called for a 7-ounce can of tomato paste, a teaspoon of dried oregano, and a 1/4 cup of water as an alternative to tomato sauce, if you prefer the original.
