 Story

 

This cabbage recipe is quiet simple and is inspired from a mixed vegetable I ate at a friend’s house.

Whenever I try to replicate a food I ate, it reminds me of what my daughter once said when we were at a restaurant. “Mom, one of the good things about coming to a restaurant with you is, if there is an item we like, you always try to make it for us at home”.   It made me feel great and motivates me to keep cooking and try new recipes.

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoon of Canola Oil
• 1/2 teaspoon of mustard seeds
• 1 cup of chopped onion
• 1 chopped garlic clove
• 1/2 cup chopped tomatoes
• 1/2 teaspoon of powdered Cayenne pepper
• 3 small Thai chilies (add less or not at all if you don't like it hot)
• 1 teaspoon salt (more or less depending on your taste)
• Finely chopped 1/2 a large Cabbage

Procedures

1. Preheat a medium size cooking pot over medium heat. Add mustard seeds, the onions and garlic in the oil.  Sauté the mixture until the onions are caramelized.
2. Add tomato, powdered cayenne pepper, thai chili and salt and stir it a few times. 
3. Add Cabbage and water and stir the mixture.  Cover the pot for 10 minutes.
4. Uncover and stir for the last time. Cover the pot again for 10 more minutes on low until cabbage is tender.
