- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1/2 onion, thinly sliced lengthwise
- 1 cup chopped carrots
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric (optional)
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 2/3 head cabbage, diced and rinsed
- 2 tablespoons water, or as needed
- Heat vegetable oil in a pot over medium heat. Add onions and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in carrots, garlic, turmeric, salt, and black pepper. Cook and stir until flavors are combined, about 7 minutes. Add cabbage and mix well.
