Pork and cabbage stir-fry is a popular dish in many parts of the world, including China, Korea, and Japan. The dish is traditionally made with pork belly, but any type of pork can be used. The pork is stir-fried with cabbage and other vegetables and then seasoned with soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil.
