Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to stew classic cabbage in a frying pan? Prepare your food. When choosing cabbage, keep in mind that when stewed, it loses a lot in volume. I took a small dense head of cabbage. Wash and dry the vegetables. Remove the top leaves from the head of cabbage and rinse with water. Dry again.

Step 2

Step 2
Shred the cabbage as thinly as possible. In this form, cabbage looks better and will cook much faster. I recommend shredding into thin, long strips.

Step 3

Step 3
Peel the onion and cut into small cubes. However, you can cut it into thin half rings — your choice. Peel the washed carrots and grate them on a coarse grater.

Step 4

Step 4
Heat half a portion of vegetable oil in a deep and wide frying pan. Place carrots and onions into the pan. Fry the vegetables over low heat for 7-10 minutes, stirring them. The onions should become transparent and the carrots should turn golden. As soon as this happens, transfer the onions and carrots from the pan into a separate bowl. Wash the pan or dry it with a paper towel. Or you can use another pan.

Step 5

Step 5
Return the cleaned pan to the heat, pour the remaining oil into it and heat it. Place the cabbage in the pan. If you don’t have all of it, wait a little: the cabbage will settle and then you can add more. Fry the cabbage over low to medium heat for about 10-15 minutes. Be guided by your stove.

Step 6

Step 6
This is how the volume of my cabbage decreased when frying. About 15 minutes passed and she started to blush underneath. You can mix it up.

Step 7

Step 7
Add the previously set aside roasted vegetables, salt and pepper to the pan. Mix well.

Step 8

Step 8
Make the heat low, cover the pan with a lid and simmer the cabbage until done. It took me about 15-20 minutes. The cabbage should become soft. If the cabbage is old and tough, you can add a little water when stewing and increase the cooking time. Bon appetit!
