Notes
I’ve included step-by-step images in the post above for visual guidance. If you would rather watch, I’ve included the complete step-by-step video tutorial here in the recipe card!
Don’t forget to stir the cabbage rather frequently to prevent the bottom from burning or, worse, the cabbage getting mushy.
Make sure to use a large enough dutch oven to fit everything and give you room to stir. I recommend a six qt or larger.
