instructions
    1

    Start by heating the oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

    2

    Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until translucent.

    3

    Next, add minced garlic and ginger to the skillet. Sauté for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.

    4

    Add the pork to the skillet, stirring often so that it cooks evenly. Cook for about 10 minutes until the pork is no longer pink.

    5

    Stir in the turmeric, cumin, and coriander. Keep stirring for another minute.

    6

    Now, add the cabbage to the skillet and mix everything well, cooking for about 5 minutes until the cabbage starts to wilt.

    7

    Pour in the water and season with salt and pepper. Cover the skillet and let it simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

    8

    Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed before serving.

How to be creative
  • Add red chili flakes for extra heat.
  • Incorporate diced tomatoes for a saucier version.
  • Serve over a bed of quinoa or rice for added texture.
Important Tips
  • Make sure to let the pork marinate in some spices for an hour if you have time, this enhances flavor.
  • Use a mix of green and red cabbage for a vibrant color.
  • Don't rush the sautéing process; it builds a deeper flavor.
