I found this in my 1000 Recipe Chinese Cookbook. I haven't tried it yet but it sounds very interesting and looks easy enough to try. Note: Time does not include overnight chilling.
Ingredients:
2 lbs round white cabbage
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
3 tablespoons wine vinegar
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons oil
1 tablespoon oil
Directions:
1. Discard tough outer leaves and core of cabbage. Cut into 1 inch cubes.
2. Combine brown sugar, soy sauce, vinegar and salt.
3. Heat 2 Tblsp. oil. Add cabbage and stir-fry until translucent but still crisp (about 3 minutes). Transfer to a bowl.
4. Heat remaining 1 Tblsp. oil. Add brown sugar-soy mixture and cook, stirring, until sugar dissolves. Then pour over cabbage and toss.
5. Transfer to tightly covered container and refrigerate overnight.
6. Variations: For the white cabbage, substitute red cabbage. For the wine vinegar, substitute cider vinegar.
7. In step 2, add 1/2 teaspoons hot pepper flakes.
