Steps:
- 1. Chop both heads of cabbage into bite-size squares.
- 2. On high heat, in a large electric skillet or deep cast iron pot, melt butter (get it sizzling).
- 3. Then add cabbage. Stir to coat cabbage with butter. Add salt, pepper, and sugar. Stir and mix seasonings in well.
- 4. Lower heat to medium-high let the cabbage start to brown and some of it will even start getting a little burnt looking. That is ok, it adds to the flavor of the dish. Get as much of the cabbage started to fry and get translucent and brown. Partially cover, turn down the heat by half, almost to low. Let simmer, stirring occasionally to reduce burning and sticking. I usually let the cabbage simmer and brown for an hour or so. I let as much of the water cook off of the cabbage as possible. Taste test it to make sure you have just the right amount of **salt (I really do not use very much salt, since the canned corned beef is pretty salty.), pepper, and sugar. The taste should be more cabbage flavor than seasonings. **The only reason I add some salt to the cabbage as it is cooking is the salt helps pull excess water out of the cabbage.**
- 5. Push all the cabbage out to the edges of the pan/pot and put the canned corned beef in the center.
- 6. Break up the corned beef. Cover and let heat and simmer for a few minutes. Mix cabbage and corned beef together and let slow simmer while you are mixing up the cornbread and baking it.
- 7. Once the cornbread is done, it is dinnertime. Enjoy!!
SPICY STIR-FRIED CORNED BEEF AND CABBAGE
This clever use of fresh cabbage and leftover boiled corned beef is inspired by Chinese American-style kung pao chicken. It gets fiery heat from chiles, tingling spice from Sichuan peppercorns and delightful crunch from roasted peanuts.

Steps:
- Mix the scallion whites, ginger, garlic and Sichuan peppercorns (if using) together in a small bowl. Whisk the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, sherry, vinegar and cornstarch together in another small bowl.
- Heat a very large cast-iron skillet or wok over high heat. Add the oil and swirl to coat the pan. Add the chiles and stir-fry until they blister and deepen in color, 5 to 10 seconds. Transfer the chiles to a large bowl with a slotted spoon. Add the corned beef and stir-fry until lightly browned and heated through, 2 to 3 minutes; transfer the beef to the bowl with the chiles.
- Add the cabbage and scallion mixture to the skillet and stir-fry until the cabbage starts to soften around the edges, 2 to 3 minutes. Return the corned beef and chiles to the skillet. Add the hoisin sauce mixture and stir-fry until hot, about 1 minute. Stir in the peanuts and scallion greens. Transfer to a serving platter. Serve right away with steamed rice.
