I love that this recipe makes a lot- that means there are leftovers so I don't have to prepare vegetables later in the week

Ingredients

3 Tbsp olive oil
1 small head red cabbage thinly sliced (about 8 cups)
1/2 cup vegetable or chicken broth
2 Tbsp soy sauce
2 Tbsp rice vinegar
1 Tbsp dry sherry or Chinese rice wine
1 Tbsp dark sesame oil
1 tsp black peppercorns or 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1 tsp five spice powder optional
15 oz can black beans rinsed and drained (optional)

Instructions

Heat the olive oil in a large dutch oven or medium heat
Add the cabbage and saute until slightly wilted, about 5 minutes
Stir in the remaining ingredients and mix well
Cover, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is completely tender and very flavorful
