Step 6
Heat vegetable oil in a cauldron (or a large deep pan) over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté, stirring, until translucent. If you don’t have a cauldron, use a deep skillet, but you may need to adjust quantities. This recipe uses a 5-liter cauldron.
Step 7
Add the shredded cabbage to the cauldron and mix it with the sautéed onion.
Step 8
Cover and simmer over low heat for about 10 minutes. The cabbage will soften, release its juice, and reduce in volume.
