How To Make Cabbage and Eggs

Start by slicing up about 1/4 of a head of green cabbage. This will make about 2 cups of raw cabbage.

Heat a frying pan to high on the stovetop. Drizzle in olive oil and add cabbage. Once the oil starts sizzling, turn the heat down to medium high and stir the cabbage.

Cook the cabbage until it is tender, about 7 minutes. While cooking, continue to stir it every minute or so.

Now it’s time to add the seasonings. Pour in soy sauce (or add salt). Sprinkle in pepper and garlic powder. Stir to incorporate seasonings.

    I feel so lucky that you posted this recipe. I just happened to have a left-over quarter of cabbage and some eggs. Surprisingly tasty! I used coconut aminos instead of soy sauce.
