Number Of Ingredients 5

Cabbage
Garlic (3-4 cloves for each head of cabbage)
Oil
Salt
Water

Steps:

  • Take the outer leaves off of the cabbage. This may have already been done for you depending on where you bought your cabbage. This step is optional, some people don't like the outer leaves because they tend to be tougher.
  • Cut the cabbage into halves or quarters and place in a bowl of water to wash them.
  • Dip the cabbage in and out of the water a few times, before straining it.
  • Cut out the core of the cabbage.
  • Dice the cabbage into medium sized pieces, and make sure that they are all separated.
  • Finely dice your garlic. The amount of garlic depends on the amount of cabbage and how well you like cabbage. Try approximately three to four cloves for one head of cabbage.
  • Add oil to the pan and turn on the heat. The oil should cover the cabbage just enough to make it look glossy. If you don't have enough you can add more later. You want the heat to be high enough to cook the cabbage quickly, but low enough that you don't fry the cabbage. Between medium and high.
  • Add the diced cabbage to the pan and stir so that each leaf has a slightly glossy look from the oil. Continue cooking and stirring until the leaves start wilting.
  • When the cabbage starts wilting, add a little water, your diced garlic and a pinch of salt. You want just enough water to cover the bottom so that they cabbage can steam. Approximately, 1/3 to 1/2 cup of water. Add just enough salt to help with the cooking, you can add more later.
  • Stir and put on the lid.
  • Continue stirring occasionally until the cabbage is your desired texture. This should not take long.
  • Add salt to taste and enjoy!
  • Finished.
