Instructions

  1. Remove the outer leaves from the cabbage. Quarter the head and cut out the stalk. Cut the quarters into patches - they can be a bit larger - and fry them in portions in the hot lard. Stir more often.
  2. Cut the smoked pork belly into cubes and roast in a separate casserole. Add the sugar and let it caramelize. Pour in the vegetable stock, add the spices and the white cabbage and steam it for about 45 minutes.
  3. Thicken the white cabbage with a little mixed cornstarch and season with salt and pepper.
  4. A yeast dumpling or bread dumplings and pork knuckles, pork belly or Wammerl go well with this.

About Editorial Staff

The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
