- 2 teaspoons black pepper powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 3 tablespoons oil
step by step instructions
To cook the cabbage on the stove
- Wash and shred the cabbage, keep this aside.
- Heat two tablespoons of oil in a pan and add the shredded cabbage.
- You may also use a skillet or a large pot instead, whichever is convenient for you to cook the shredded cabbage on the stove.
- Stir well and cook the contents in low to medium heat for about 5 to 6 minutes or until the cabbage is cooked and the water is almost evaporated.

- Add enough salt to taste, stir well, keep this cooked cabbage aside.
To make egg scramble
- In a small bow, beat the eggs very well, add salt and mix well.

- Scramble the eggs gently into small or medium sized pieces (make sure not to scramble the eggs too much and make the pieces too small, as small to medium sized pieces will taste the best).

Thank you for the recipe. I used vegetable broth instead of oil and I added a little bit of onion, baby spinach and topped off with sharp cheddar cheese.
