Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Steaming the cabbage for more than 1 minute 30 seconds will cause it to lose its crisp texture and become mushy, so be precise with the timing.
  • The 'cheat-key' lemon juice helps neutralize the cabbage’s characteristic smell and magnifies its natural sweetness several times over.
  • Using olive oil together increases the absorption of nutrients contained in the cabbage, making it even healthier.

Recommended for

  • Those looking for a soft and refreshing vegetable side dish.
  • People who prefer a clean, light seasoned vegetable dish over heavy stir-fried options.
  • Those who want to whip up a neat basic side dish with minimal cooking time.
