Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Chop the Vegetables

    Begin by chopping the green cabbage into thin strips. Peel and slice the carrots into thin rounds. Dice the onion and bell pepper. Mince the garlic cloves.

Cooking

  1. 2

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and bell pepper, sautéing until they become translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

  2. 3

    Add Cabbage and Carrots

    Stir in the chopped cabbage and sliced carrots, cooking for about 5 minutes until they begin to soften.

  3. 4

    Combine Broth and Seasonings

    Pour in the vegetable broth, then add the tomato paste, apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, brown sugar, salt, black pepper, chili flakes, and bay leaves. Stir everything together to combine.

  4. 5

    Simmer the Stew

    Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and the flavors have melded.

  5. 6

    Final Adjustments

    Taste the stew and adjust seasoning as needed. Remove bay leaves before serving.
