Sautéed Napa Cabbage is sliced cabbage cooked with butter, olive oil, garlic, apple cider vinegar and any fresh herbs you'd like. An easy and inexpensive side dish that pairs well with just about any main you're serving. This Napa cabbage recipe takes just 20 minutes to make, is super tasty and nutrient-rich!
Prep the cabbage: to make it easier, I like to cut the head of cabbage in half from top to bottom. Lay each half flat on a large cutting board and slice it into thin strips (see video for reference!).
1 medium head of napa cabbage
In a large skillet over medium heat, add in the butter and olive oil. Once hot, add in the garlic and sauté for 3 minutes. Add in the cabbage and season with salt and pepper. Sauté for 10-12 minutes, stirring a few times, until it’s tender.
2 cloves garlic, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 tablespoon butter, 1 teaspoon fine sea salt, ½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
Stir in the vinegar and serve. Season with additional salt and pepper as desired!
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

Notes
Feel free to add in any additional spices or herbs as desired. I love this recipe with fresh thyme or parsley mixed in!
