pro tips for making Cabbage and Minced Meat:
Pre-cook Cabbage: Briefly steam or blanch the cabbage before adding it to the pan to speed up cooking and enhance its flavor.
Deglaze the Pan: After browning the beef, add a splash of broth or wine to the pan and scrape up any browned bits for extra flavor.
Chill Ground Beef: For easier handling, chill the ground beef before cooking to help it brown more evenly.
Uniform Chopping: Cut the cabbage and vegetables into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking.
Adjust Spice Levels: Start with less spice and gradually add more to suit your heat preference.
These tips can help elevate your dish and streamline your cooking process!
