- Kosher salt or flaky sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high for 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cut cabbage in half, top to bottom. Then lay cut-side down and slice crosswise into ½- to ¾-inch planks.

Equipment
Notes
It's important to use a high-heat cooking oil here. I recommend avocado oil, though safflower, soybean or canola oil will also work.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium.
