1
Halve the cabbage and shred it thinly using a potato peeler, or chop it with a knife according to your preference. The size and shape are entirely up to you.
2
Prepare all vegetables: cut bell peppers, tomato, onion, garlic, carrots, and peppers into desired sizes.
3
Add cooking oil to a pot (not too much to avoid an oily result), then add all the vegetables and aromatics. Sauté for about 2 to 3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
4
Season with salt and all purpose seasoning, then add all the prepared cabbage and mix well to incorporate all ingredients evenly.
5
Add a bit of butter and taste to adjust the salt content to your preference.
6
Cover the pot with a lid and steam over medium heat for 5 to 6 minutes (or longer if you prefer softer cabbage). The cabbage will break down and release its own moisture, steaming to perfection.
