Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head green cabbage
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 medium, shredded carrot
- 0.5 medium, thinly sliced red bell pepper
- 0.25 cup water
Instructions
Prepare the cabbage by removing any wilted outer leaves and slicing it into thin shreds. Set aside.
In a large skillet or wok, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the shredded carrot and thinly sliced red bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until slightly softened.
Stir in the shredded cabbage, tossing to combine with the carrots and bell pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
In a small bowl, mix together the apple cider vinegar, granulated sugar, salt, black pepper, and water until the sugar is dissolved.
Pour the sweet and sour mixture over the cabbage in the skillet. Stir well to coat all the vegetables in the sauce.
Lower the heat to medium-low, cover the skillet, and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender but still slightly crisp.
Remove the skillet from heat, taste, and adjust seasoning if needed.
Serve warm as a flavorful side dish or as part of your main meal. Enjoy!
