Cabbage Recipes Part 1

Ingredients

• 1 cabbage – it needs to be sliced but there are 2 ways to skin the cat.
•  If you boil it quartered for about 10 min, first, you can use less oil and cook it faster
• Or you can slice it and just sauté directly
• 1-2 onions chopped
• 2 Tbsp white vinegar
• 1 tsp sugar
• 1 Tbsp caraway seeds
• 3 Tbsp canola oil

Preparation

1. Sauté the onions in heated oil until translucent
2. Add sliced cabbage
3. Stir to combine
4. Cover and heat on a low flame. Stirring every 5 min or so. Until cabbage is soft about 20 min
5. Add vinegar and sugar
6. Stir thoroughly
7. Add caraway seeds and stir again
8. Cook for 5-7 more min and serve.

Perfect with pork

Ingredients & Preparation

• 2-4 c shredded Napa cabbage
• 1 Tbsp dark sesame oil
• 1 Tbsp rice vinegar (if you don’t like that vinegar tang use mirin instead)
• 1 Tbsp grated ginger
• 1 clove minced garlic
• 2 Tbsp cilantro finely chopped
• 4 oz poached chicken breast sliced (simmer the raw breast in water for about 15 min until it’s cooked through)
• 1/4 c chopped peanuts (optional). (Peanuts can be tricky to chop. We wrap them in 2-3 paper towels and crush them with a wooden spoon or a pan, whatever is handy. Plus it’s fun)

Toss everything in a bowl and serve!
