Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 red onion diced
  • 6 garlic cloves minced
  • 4 tsp ginger peeled and minced
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp tumeric
  • 1/2 head green cabbage chopped
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • cilantro garnish
  • cashews chopped, garnish
  • sour cream garnish
  • sriracha garnish

Basmati Rice

  • 1 cup basmati rice rinsed
  • 1.5 cups water
  • 1 tsp kosher salt

Instructions

  • Rinse the rice until the water runs clear. Add to a rice cooker with salt and water, follow manufacturer's instructions to cook.
  • While the rice cooks, heat the instant pot or pressure cooker over medium, melt butter and olive oil.
  • When shimmering, add onions, saute until browned, about 5 minutes.
  • Add garlic and ginger and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Add cumin and stir until fragrant. Then add turmeric. Toss in all the cabbage and stir to coat with onions, oil, and seasonings.
  • Add 1/4 cup of water and cover. Bring to high pressure and cook for 1 minute (yes, that's correct, just 1 minute) in the Instant Pot. Quick release. Once the pressure has come down, remove the lid and stir in the peas until they've warmed through.
  • To serve, in a bowl, add a spoonful of fluffy rice then cover with cooked cabbage. Top with a healthy serving of cashews, cilantro, a dollop of sour cream and drizzle with sriracha.
