Notes
- Don't rush the process. It takes at least an hour for the cabbage to become perfectly tender and cooked through.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and keep in the fridge for up to 5 days.
- Freezing is not recommended as it may alter the texture of the cabbage when thawed.
- Serve cold leftovers over burgers, hot dogs, tacos, sandwiches, or salads.
