Preparation & Cooking Steps

4 steps

Clean smoked fish in warm water and flake into bite-sized pieces.

In a pot, heat oil and sauté sliced onions, garlic, and diced tomatoes until soft.

Fold in flaked smoked fish and ground spices.

Add shredded cabbage, stir gently, and cook on low heat for 12 to 15 minutes until tender.

Chef's Tip & Secret

Keep the pot partially uncovered towards the end to avoid excess steaming and keep the cabbage texture pleasant.
