Cabbage is a lovely compliment to any meat or seafood dishes. But as kids, we didn't think much of this vegetable, other than the odd occasion of yummy cabbage rolls. It was the same boring steamed cabbage every time. I remember having to pile heaps of salt so we can reluctantly shove them into our mouths before we were allowed that after dinner chocolate cake. There was an occasion when my older brother decided he had enough and started chucking handful of cabbages into his pocket while mum wasn't looking. I don't think mum ever found out, well she does now. Sorry, Eric.
If you are still doing that, here's a wonderful way to jazz up that cabbage. Tried and tested on children and husband with fantastic verdict!
Ingredients:
1/2 large head of Cabbage
4 cloves Garlic
1 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Sugar
1 tbsp Oil
Steps:
1. Chop the cabbage up into 1/2 inch width.
2. Wash and dry cabbage. I simply put them over a kitchen towel to absorb the water.
3. Cut garlic into thin slices.
4. Heat oil in a frying pan. Add garlic and fry till golden brown.
5. Add cabbage and give it a good stir for about 2 minutes.
6. Add salt and sugar. Fry till cabbage is cooked, depending on how crunchy you like your cabbage. Now, if the cabbage has dried well, there should not be any liquid in the frying pan. But if there is, don't worry. Simply tilt the frying pan and push the cabbage to the higher end, draining as much liquid as you possibly can.
7. With a slotted spoon, scoop up cabbage and garlic onto a plate. Serve immediately.
Serves 4 as a side.
