Pan-Steamed Cabbage & Cheesy White Sauces

Heat Oil in a frying pan over medium heat, place Cabbage wedges, add Salt and 1/4 cup Water, cover with a lid, and cook until water is gone.

Turn over the Cabbage wedges carefully, add extra 1/4 cup Water, cover with a lid, and cook until water is gone and cabbage is soft.

*Note: Depending on the type of the Cabbage and the softness that you desire, you might need to cook further with extra Water.

How to make Cheesy White Sauce:
1. Microwave Method
Place Butter and Flour in a heat-proof bowl. Heat in the microwave for 30 seconds or until Butter melts. Mix well with a whisk.

Add cold Milk (but DO NOT try to whisk), and heat in the microwave for 1 minutes. (This process is to warm the Milk.) Whisk well until the mixture is well combined and smooth.

Heat in the microwave for 1 minute, take it out and whisk well, then heat again for about 1 minute and bring to the boil. Once it’s boiled and thickened, take it out and whisk well until smooth. Add Cheese and mix well. Season with Salt and White Pepper.

2. Saucepan Method
Melt Butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add Flour and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, until mixture bubbles. Gradually add Milk, constantly stirring.

Bring to the boil, then reduce heat to simmer, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens. Add Cheese and mix well. Season with Salt and White Pepper.
