Ingredients You Need

I don't like my food bland. So I use a few ingredients to make a simple buttery glaze– for added flavor. But you can skip it all and just season with salt.

Step 1

Begin by making butter glaze. Add garlic, white pepper, caraway seeds and salt to melted butter and mix. Microwave in two 15-second spurts, stirring in between.

Step 3

Put the lid, turn up the heat to medium high. Once you see steam forming inside, lower the heat to medium-low and let it steam for 8 to 9 minutes.

Step 4

Remove the lid and let any excess water evaporate. But don't let the cabbage become too dry or it will stick to the bottom.

Step 5

Add the prepared butter glaze. Mix well. You can also skip the glaze altogether and just season with salt and pepper at this stage.

Step 6
