I know a lot of people like to go Vegan and this is one of the side dishes that can be made without any form of meat. Cabbage should not be cook for more than 8-10 minutes and should be crunchy when eating to keep the nutrients in. Cabbage has a lot of fibre in it, so if you are on a fibre rich diet, this is one dish you can add to your meal.
