  • Add the cabbage to the skillet and mix well. Season with salt.
  • Continue stir-frying until the cabbage is soft and the volume reduces by half. Stir to avoid burning and allow the ingredients to cook evenly.

Notes

  • Cook the cabbage just until it’s tender with a slight bite. Don’t overcook to avoid losing its natural sweetness.
  • Add a teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce, a sprinkle of cajun or creole seasoning, or a drizzle of red wine vinegar for better flavor.
  • Add some crushed red pepper flakes, a dash of cayenne pepper, or your favorite hot sauce to the recipe for an extra kick.
  • Add a splash of apple cider vinegar or white vinegar at the end of cooking to brighten the flavors and cut through the richness.
Serve: Serve as it is or with bread. Use as a topping for rice or noodles.
Store: Place cooked leftovers in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Do not freeze.To reheat, gently warm in a skillet over medium-low heat until heated through. Serve warm.
