- 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
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.
