- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper

- 2 cups vegetables of choice
Instructions
- Cut 1 head of cabbage into ultra-fine, delicate ribbons using a sharp knife, aiming for strips approximately ¼ inch wide.

- Gently tumble your shredded cabbage into the skillet, spreading it evenly across the surface and allowing it to cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Select 1 cup of your preferred chopped vegetables – bell peppers, carrots, or zucchini work wonderfully – and fold them into the cabbage mixture.
- Sprinkle 1 teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper across the skillet, tossing everything to distribute seasonings evenly.
