It wasn't you, and it wasn't your pot either. Everything that tasted like cabbage came out of those leaves and went into the water, and then you poured the water down the sink and ate the part that was left over, and the part that was left over is the part with nothing in it. Nobody ever showed you the two things a Japanese kitchen does to a cabbage before any heat gets anywhere near it. They take about fifteen minutes between them, they cost you nothing, and they're the difference between cabbage that tastes like water and cabbage that people come back to the pan for. 0:00 - Why boiled cabbage turns bland 2:01 - Common cabbage cooking myths 3:43 - The science inside cabbage 6:17 - Ingredients and Japanese seasonings 8:31 - Cut, salt, and squeeze 10:30 - Build the vegetable base 12:11 - Season the browned cabbage 13:31 - Prepare the dashi eggs 15:00 - Set and bake the frittata 16:44 - The essential five-minute rest 18:50 - Troubleshoot your first pan 20:55 - Two waste-saving cabbage habits #japan #japanesefood #cooking
