Sauteed Red Cabbage

Sauteed Red Cabbage is a healthy, nutritious, and super easy side dish. Although not the most common side dish, it holds a pretty strong resume in regards to health benefits. It is low in calories but high in Potassium, Vitamin C, and Vitamin B6. Also it is a good source of fiber, calcium, and iron. As an added benefit, you can literally feed an army for only a few bucks.

It is a total myth that cabbage cant taste good! When red cabbage is cooked properly it has a tangy, yet slightly sweet earthy taste. Sauteed red cabbage can be served hot or cold, and is a great option to add to a meal prep bowl!

This side dish is very straight forward to prepare, it can be fully cooked in only a few minutes. I use a large wok so I can cook a whole cabbage at once.

If you do not have a wok, you can cook the cabbage in batches in a large skillet. Or if you want to make half the recipe, you can wrap the second half of the red cabbage tightly with plastic wrap. Store in the refrigerator in the vegetable crisper for up to one week.
