Simple Sauteed Cabbage Recipes

SAUTEED CABBAGE

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over high heat; cook and stir cabbage, onion, red bell pepper, and yellow bell pepper in the hot oil, stirring every 30 seconds, until tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

SAUTEED RED CABBAGE

Steps:

• Heat a skillet over medium high heat. Add oil and onion and saute 2 minutes. Add cabbage and turn in pan, sauteing it until it wilts, 3 to 5 minutes. Add vinegar to the pan and turn the cabbage in it. Sprinkle sugar over the cabbage and turn again. Season with mustard seed, salt and pepper and reduce heat a bit. Let cabbage continue to cook 10 minutes or until ready to serve, stirring occasionally.

SAUTéED CABBAGE

Steps:

• Cut the cabbage in half from its top down through its core. Place the cut-side down on your cutting board, then slice it as thinly as possible around the core so that you have fine ribbons. Discard the core.
• Heat a large saute pan or similar heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and butter. Once the butter is melted, add the cabbage, salt, and pepper. Saute for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender and begins to brown. Don't feel like you need to constantly stir it. Leaving cabbage undisturbed for a minute or two as you go is what will allow it to develop brown caramelized bits (aka FLAVOR).
• Remove from the heat and stir in the apple cider vinegar. Taste and add a bit of additional salt and pepper if you like, or a splash more vinegar if you'd like to add more zippy and acidic flavors. Sprinkle with thyme. Serve warm.

SAUTEED CABBAGE

Steps:

• In a saute or frying pan on medium-high heat, melt butter. Add chopped garlic and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute. Do not burn garlic. Add shredded cabbage to garlic and butter, tossing to coat.
• Season with salt and pepper and continue to cook cabbage, tossing occassionally until it just begins to turn golden, about 10-15 minutes.
• Note: Caraway is a great addition. Add 1/2 teaspoon with the garlic and stir until fragrant.

SAUTEED CABBAGE

Steps:

• In a skillet or wok, saute onion and garlic in oil until tender. Add cabbage; cook and stir until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat; add soy sauce, sugar and pepper. Cook and stir for 3-5 minutes or until cabbage is tender.

SAUTEED RED CABBAGE

Steps:

• Halve, core, and thinly slice red cabbage.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add cabbage and red-wine vinegar; season with coarse salt and ground pepper. Cook, tossing frequently, until cabbage is crisp-tender, about 15 minutes (add a splash of water if pan becomes dry).
• Add light-brown sugar; toss until dissolved, about 30 seconds. Season again with salt and pepper, as desired.

SHREDDED SAUTEED CABBAGE

Steps:

• Heat a 14-inch skillet over medium-high heat, and then add the oil and onion. Saute to soften the onion slightly, about 2 minutes. Stir in the tomato, ginger if using, and red-pepper flakes. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.
• Add the cabbage and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. Stir to combine. Cover, and reduce the heat to medium low. Cook, stirring occasionally as the cabbage begins to collapse. Add a little water, 2 tablespoons at a time, as needed if the cabbage becomes too dry. (This depends on the moisture level of the cabbage. You don't want it too wet.) Cook for approximately 13 minutes, or until the cabbage is just tender. Salt to taste and serve.

SAUTEED CABBAGE AND CARROTS

Steps:

• Heat canola oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and cook until soft. Add ginger and garlic, cook for about 1 minute, stirring frequently. Add carrots, cabbage, salt and black pepper; Cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Next add the vinegar and stir to combine. Remove from heat. Serve warm.
• Notes: I prefer the cabbage to be crisp but if you prefer it to be softer you can add about 1/4 vegetable or chicken stock, and cook for an additional 10 minutes or until it is the texture that you desire. If using stock, be sure to adjust the amount of salt in the dish since stocks do tend to have sodium.

SAUTEED NAPA CABBAGE

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat and cook onion until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add napa cabbage, sprinkle with sugar, and mix well. Cook and stir over low heat, 3 to 5 minutes. Season with ginger, cumin, salt, and pepper and cook for 1 more minute.
• Pour sake and broth into the skillet with the cabbage and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes. Stir in balsamic vinegar and adjust seasoning to taste. Mix in parsley.

SAUTEED CABBAGE

Steps:

• Cut the cabbage in half and, with the cut-side down, slice it as thinly as possible around the core, as though you were making coleslaw. Discard the core.
• Melt the butter in a large saute pan or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add the cabbage, salt, and pepper and saute for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender and begins to brown. Season, to taste, and serve warm.

SAUTéED CABBAGE

Steps:

• Peel off and discard any bruised or wilted leaves from the cabbage, and use a sharp knife to remove the core. Cut the head in half lengthwise, then cut the halves crosswise into thin shreds.
• In a large skillet or saucepan, heat the oil and sauté the shredded cabbage over medium-high heat for 5 minutes, tossing and stirring often until wilted. Reduce the heat to very low, cover the pan with a tight-fitting lid, and cook for 30 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender. Stir frequently, as the cabbage can scorch easily. Season the cabbage with salt and pepper to taste.
• The cabbage will steam in its own juice. If the low setting on your stove is not low enough, add water to prevent scorching.
