Ingredients

• 1 medium head green cabbage
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 medium, shredded carrot
• 0.5 medium, thinly sliced red bell pepper
• 0.25 cup water

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the cabbage by removing any wilted outer leaves and slicing it into thin shreds. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet or wok, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the shredded carrot and thinly sliced red bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until slightly softened.

Step 4

Stir in the shredded cabbage, tossing to combine with the carrots and bell pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix together the apple cider vinegar, granulated sugar, salt, black pepper, and water until the sugar is dissolved.

Step 6

Pour the sweet and sour mixture over the cabbage in the skillet. Stir well to coat all the vegetables in the sauce.

Step 7

Lower the heat to medium-low, cover the skillet, and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender but still slightly crisp.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from heat, taste, and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 9

Serve warm as a flavorful side dish or as part of your main meal. Enjoy!
