Ingredients:

1/4 cabbage
220g
1 tbsp vegetable oil
14g
4 tbsp onion
40g
1 tsp sugar
4.20g
1/2 tsp salt
3g
1 tsp black pepper
2.10g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage, then wash and thinly slice it.
- Finely chop the onion.
2. Heat the Oil:
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat until it shimmers.
3. Cook the Onions:
- Add the chopped onions to the skillet and sauté for about 3-4 minutes, or until they turn translucent and start to brown slightly.
4. Add the Cabbage:
- Add the thinly sliced cabbage to the skillet, mixing it with the onions. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage begins to soften.
5. Season the Vegetables:
- Sprinkle the sugar, salt, and black pepper evenly over the cabbage and onions. Stir well to ensure the seasonings are evenly distributed.
6. Cook Until Tender:
- Continue to cook the cabbage mixture for another 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the cabbage is tender and has a nice golden-brown color in spots.
7. Serve:
- Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the pan-fried cabbage and onions to a serving dish.
8. Optional Garnish:
- Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or dill if desired.

9. Enjoy!
- Serve immediately while hot. This dish pairs well with a variety of main courses or can be enjoyed on its own as a simple, flavorful side.

Tips:

- Cut the cabbage into thin slices for even cooking.

- Use a large skillet to ensure the cabbage has enough space to spread out and cook evenly.

- Cook on medium-high heat for a slightly caramelized exterior and tender interior.

- Stir occasionally to prevent burning and ensure even cooking.

- Adjust the seasoning to taste, adding more salt or pepper as needed.

- For added flavor, consider adding a splash of soy sauce or a squeeze of lemon juice before serving.

- You can also add other seasonings or spices like garlic powder, paprika, or red pepper flakes for a different flavor profile.
