  1. Step 1:

    Step 1.

    How to fry white cabbage for garnish? Prepare all the necessary products. If possible, it is better to take young cabbage and carrots of the new crop. Although it will be quite possible to cook a delicious vegetable side dish from last year's vegetables. Pre-wash all vegetables.

  2. Step 2:

    Step 2.

    Peel and dice the onion. In principle, the method of slicing will not affect the taste in any way, so you can cut it into rings and half rings. To avoid irritating the mucous membrane of the eyes when slicing onions, rinse the onion and knife with cold water. The cutting board will not absorb the unpleasant onion smell if you rub it with a piece of lemon before slicing.

  3. Step 3:

    Step 3.

    Peel and grate the carrots on a coarse grater.

  4. Step 4:

    Step 4.

    Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan for frying. It can be any: corn, rapeseed, sunflower and any other. Fry the onion over medium heat for about 5 minutes until golden brown.

  5. Step 5:

    Step 5.

    Add carrots to the onion. Fry everything together for about 7 more minutes. Vegetables should be fried, not stewed — so the dish will turn out much tastier.

  6. Step 6:

    Step 6.

    Wash the cabbage well, remove the top 3 leaves. A lot of dirt and bacteria accumulate in the upper leaves of cabbage.

  7. Step 7:

    Step 7.

    Cut the cabbage in any convenient way. I finely chopped it, but you can chop it up and larger. Add the cabbage to the pan. Mix it up.

  8. Step 8:

    Step 8.

    Add salt. So the cabbage will release liquid, become less elastic and decrease in volume. If desired, you may well add some other herbs or seasonings: ground pepper, garlic powder, paprika - everything to your taste and choice! Fresh herbs are also quite suitable: parsley, cilantro, dill and basil. Just pre-wash the greens and dry them.

  9. Step 9:

    Step 9.

    Cook for about 15 minutes covered with a lid. Then remove the lid and fry the vegetables well until they are bright ruddy and slightly crispy.

  10. Step 10:

    Step 10.

    Such cabbage is a great side dish. In my opinion, it goes well with smoked sausages, sausages, etc. But it may also well be for poultry, or meat. Bon appetit!

Keep in mind that the final result in this dish also depends on how you chop the carrots: grated carrots will turn into mush during heat treatment and mix evenly with the rest of the ingredients, cut into strips or cubes will retain their shape. 

Any oils are useful only until a certain temperature is reached - the point of smoking, at which the oil begins to burn and toxic substances, including carcinogens, are formed in it.
