How to Choose Fresh Cabbage

• Choose round, evenly shaped cabbages with deep green color and a firm feel.
• Avoid buying flat or oval cabbages as they are usually spongy and not tasty.
• Do not choose cabbages with a pale white color or outer leaves that are bruised or turning yellow – signs of old or low-quality cabbage.

Steps to Make Garlic Butter Sautéed Cabbage

1. Prepare the Ingredients
