Are you looking for a simple but tasty vegetable dish? Try this Ginisang Repolyo! It’s easy to make, nutritious, and budget-friendly too! It is the perfect no-fuss weekday meal for the whole family.
If you’ve been a long-time follower of the blog, you probably noticed that Kawaling Pinoy had a major makeover and that recipe photos are being updated regularly. It takes a lot of work (and 4 AM bedtimes) to get everything nice and pretty for you, but it’s all worth it.
On one of the times I was revamping old content, the idea for this ginisang repolyo recipe came to me. I was cooking my pancit bihon guisado to re-shoot it when I realized the meat and veggie sahog could be a meal itself!
It has all the makings of a delicious and filling main dish: tender-crisp cabbage and carrots, protein-packed chicken, sweet sausage, shrimp, and savory oyster sauce for a good dose of flavor.
Plus, it’s customizable, too! Add or swap your favorite pancit fixings, such as diced pork, tofu, squid balls, bell peppers, celery, and snow peas.
Quick tip
The sulfurous odor linked with cabbage only develops when it is overcooked. The longer it is cooked the stronger it becomes.
Serving suggestions
- Ginisang Repolyo makes a delicious main or side dish with steamed rice, fried fish, or grilled meat for a hearty lunch or dinner.

Same here. I ended up eating some of these that’s supposedly for pancit LOL! Stir-fried cabbage are always great. The addition of meat and other condiments like you did here makes it more flavorful! I will try this next time cause mine is very simple.

Hi Mia
I usually cook double the veggies when I make pancit, two birds in one stone~half to pair with rice and the other for the pancit 🙂
