Notes

  1. The cabbage in this dish should be browned on the edges, but be careful not to burn it. If you feel like your cabbage is brown on the outside but not tender enough yet, feel free to add a little water to the pan to help the cabbage cook through.
  2. Leftover cooked cabbage will stay fresh in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  3. If you're looking to make this recipe even speedier, you can use a bag of pre-shredded cabbage.
