Instructions

    1.
    Finely shred the cabbage to the weight specified in the ingredients. Place the shredded cabbage in a colander and sprinkle 1 TABLESPOON of salt evenly over it. Massage the salt into the cabbage for several minutes until the cabbage begins to wilt and releases a significant amount of liquid. Allow the cabbage to sit and wilt in the colander for 1 hour.
    2.
    After 1 hour, thoroughly rinse the salt off the cabbage in the colander. Using your hands, squeeze out as much liquid as possible from the cabbage. Transfer the squeezed cabbage to a mixing bowl. Add the remaining ingredients to the bowl and toss to combine, ensuring the cabbage is evenly coated with the spices.
    3.
    Place the seasoned cabbage mixture in a large skillet over medium heat. Continuously toss and stir the cabbage until it is heated through and develops slight crispy edges. Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning, ensuring even cooking.
    4.
    Serve the 'almost kraut' hot and enjoy!
