A simple cabbage recipe for an impressive side dish.

Substitutes:

  • Vegan? Use vegan butter instead. 
  • No olive oil? Use sesame oil instead.

Prep time: 10 minutes

Cook time: 20 minutes

Total time: 30 minutes

Servings: 4

Ingredients:

½ red cabbage (shredded )

2 tbsp olive oil

2 tbsp unsalted butter

1 garlic clove (grated )

1 tsp ginger (grated )

1 tbsp miso paste

Recipe:

  1. Add all of the ingredients into a large saucepan and place over a medium heat. Toss well to coat and cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage begins to soften and shrink.

  2. If the pan looks dry, add a tablespoon or two of water to help the miso dissolve and create a light braising liquid.

  3. Cover the pan and cook for another 5–7 minutes, stirring once or twice, until the cabbage is tender but still vibrant and slightly silky.

  4. Taste and adjust (miso usually adds enough salt). Serve warm as a side dish or spoon over rice, noodles, or alongside roasted vegetables. Enjoy!
