Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head green cabbage
- 1 large yellow onion
- 3 pieces garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons red chili flakes (optional)
Instructions
Remove any damaged outer leaves from the cabbage, cut it in half, and remove the core. Thinly slice the cabbage into shreds and set aside.
Peel and thinly slice the onion into half-moons. Mince the garlic cloves.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat.
Add the sliced onion to the skillet and sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened and slightly caramelized, stirring occasionally.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional 1 minute, stirring constantly to avoid burning.
Add the shredded cabbage to the skillet and toss to combine with the onions and garlic. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the cabbage is softened and begins to lightly brown.
In a small bowl, mix the balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, and brown sugar until the sugar dissolves.
Pour the balsamic mixture over the cabbage and stir well to coat. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Season with black pepper, salt, and optional red chili flakes to taste, stirring well. Adjust seasoning as needed.
Remove from heat and serve hot as a flavorful side dish or a light main course. Enjoy!
