Recipe

Imitation crab is the weeknight seafood nobody brags about and everybody should: cheap, already cooked, and happy in a hot pan. Here it joins a genuinely colorful stir-fry — cauliflower, red cabbage, snow peas, tomato — in a garlic-ginger-soy glaze, over steamed rice. Fifty minutes gets four generous bowls with more vegetables than most takeout sees in a week.
