Ingredients
- 1 small sweetheart cabbage about 2 lbs/ 900 g
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- pinch of fine sea salt optional
- freshly ground black pepper
- 1-2 tablespoons chopped parsley optional
Instructions
- Prepare cabbage: Remove the outer leaves, rinse, and dry the vegetable. Halve the head, then cut it into quarters. Remove the core, making a V-shaped cut around it. Discard it. Shred the wedges into thin slices by cutting diagonally across them.
- Cook: Heat butter and olive oil in a large pan (preferably nonstick or cast-iron). Let the butter foam just for a few seconds. Add the cabbage and stir well. Cook for 8 minutes on medium heat. Reduce heat to medium-low if the cabbage starts to stick or colors too quickly. Cook until lightly browned, crispy tender, but not too soft or mushy.
- Add soy sauce and stir for another 2 minutes. Remove from the heat.
- Adjust the taste with a pinch of salt (it might not be necessary, soy sauce is salty) and some black pepper. Sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.
