Heat some avocado oil in a cast iron skillet with a lid. Keep the heat medium-high.

Toss in cabbage and cook until the sides turn crispy. Add butter, a pinch of salt, and some pepper while frying.

# Notes:
01 -
You can prepare this at 350°F in an air fryer for around 20 minutes.

Don’t remove the core so the cabbage stays intact while cooking.

Skip the chili oil or sambal if you want a less spicy version.
