How to Make Cabbage Omelet

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add 1/2 cup chopped yellow onion to the hot oil and sauté for 7 minutes, until softened but not browned.
  3. Add 2 cups shredded green cabbage to the skillet. Stir constantly and sauté for 5-7 minutes, until the cabbage is wilted and translucent. The onions should begin to brown slightly.
  4. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk 3 large eggs lightly.
  6. Pour the beaten eggs over the cabbage and onion mixture. Gently stir to combine and cook until the eggs are set, about 3 minutes.
  7. Serve immediately as a side dish with your favorite protein or as a main course with steamed jasmine rice.
