Spicy Red Cabbage

Really had the urge for something spicy tonight, like a chinese. So I rustled up this spicy sweet and sour cabbage, and had it with cheesy fritters.

I stir fried the red cabbage in 1/2 Tbsp oil, with some fennel. I added 1 tsp of chinese 5 spice early during the cooking. When it was nearly done, I added 1 Tbsp sweetener and stired that in, then 1 Tbsp red wine vinegar (this makes you cough if you're too close, so do it at arms length!).

Keep the heat on until all the liquid has evaporated, and job done - spicy sweet and sour cabbage. The cabbage stays a bit crunchy - if you don't like it like this, you can use partly cooked cabbage instead - just steam or boil it beforehand.

For an extra kick, add a few chilli flakes.
Enjoy!
