Notes
- Slicing thinly a large cabbage can be a task. If you quarter it and create wedges of cabbage, it will be more straightforward to core it and cut it thinly, too, as your hand can get a good hold of the wedge.

- If your cabbage is becoming dry toward the end of cooking, add a small amount of water to assist with the cooking and keep it moist.
