Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cabbage

    Remove any damaged outer leaves from the cabbage. Cut the cabbage into quarters and remove the core. Chop the cabbage into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Brown the Butter

    In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Continue to cook until the butter starts to foam and turns a golden brown color, about 5-7 minutes. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.

  3. 3

    Add Cabbage to the Skillet

    Once the butter is browned, add the chopped cabbage to the skillet. Stir well to coat the cabbage in the brown butter.

  4. 4

    Season with Salt and Pepper

    Sprinkle the salt and black pepper over the cabbage and stir to combine.

  5. 5

    Incorporate Kimchi Paste

    Add the house kimchi paste to the skillet, mixing it thoroughly with the cabbage until evenly distributed.

  6. 6

    Add Water and Cook

    Pour in the water, cover the skillet, and reduce the heat to low. Let the cabbage braise for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it is tender.

  7. 7

    Finish and Serve

    Once the cabbage is tender and the flavors have melded together, remove the lid and increase the heat to medium-high. Cook for an additional 5 minutes to evaporate excess liquid. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary before serving.
