CABBAGE STIR FRY with coriander leaves

I used to make cabbage thoren all the time. This cabbage stir fry was introduced to me by my husband's cousin sister. She had made prawns and bacon fried rice and this cabbage stir fry was the side dish to that. Had never tried this combination. Surprisingly the cabbage turned out to be a very good side dish to the rice.
