Notes

Two ways to prepare cabbage

  • Steam- This is my preferred way. It releases most of the water and allows the cabbage to already be somewhat withered and done. You don't want to steam it so long where it looses it's crunch because adding it into the pan will cook it slightly more depending on how long you leave it in.
  • Pan fry- Here you simply cut the cabbage up and toss in into the pan at step 5. The cabbage will have to be cooked completely through this method inside the pan. Releasing water into the pan as well. So a tip is to add the cabbage, cook it to desired tenderness. Water will be released in dish and will provide a different mouth feel from where if you'd steamed it in the beginning.
