1/2 cup red wine vinegar

  • Shred the cabbage: Use a sharp knife or a food processor to shred the cabbage into thin strips. This will help it cook evenly.
  • Cook the cabbage properly: Avoid overcooking the cabbage, as this can make it mushy. Cook it until it is tender but still has a bit of a bite to it.
