Categories     Side Dish     Dinner

Time 13m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 3

1/4 small cabbage (thinly sliced)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Salt (to taste)

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Place the sliced cabbage in a small microwave-safe casserole dish.
  • Add 1/4 inch of water.
  • Cover and microwave on high for 8 minutes. (If your microwave doesn't have a turntable, rotate the dish 1/4 turn halfway through cooking.)
  • Drain the water from the dish.
  • Add the butter and salt. Serve and enjoy.
  • Fill a large pot with water and set a steam basket or metal colander on top of the pot. The water in the pot should be just below the basket.
  • Bring the water to a boil, then add the sliced cabbage to the basket.
  • Cover the basket with a lid and steam until the cabbage is tender and crisp. Most cabbage takes about 5 to 8 minutes. Some varieties like napa, bok choy, and savoy cabbage may only take 3 to 5 minutes. (If using a colander, be sure that you leave a little space so the steam can escape. Tilting the lid works quite well.)
  • Remove the cabbage from the basket and add butter and salt.
  • Serve and enjoy.

Tips:

  • Use a steamer basket or colander set over a pot of boiling water to steam the cabbage. This method helps preserve the cabbage's vibrant color and nutrients.
  • Steam the cabbage for 5-7 minutes, or until it is tender but still slightly crisp. Overcooking will make the cabbage mushy.
