Method

  1. Tip all the ingredients, except the spring onions, sesame seeds and oil, into a large pan with a lid, and bring to a simmer. Cook over a low heat for 25-30 mins until all the liquid has evaporated and continue to cook, stirring regularly, until the juices become really sticky and glaze the cabbage.
  2. Stir through half the spring onions and sesame seeds and pile into a bowl. Serve scattered with rest of the spring onions and sesame seeds and drizzled with the sesame oil.

BACON BRAISED RED CABBAGE: To make this side dish meaty, fry off 200g chopped smoked streaky bacon in a large pan. When crisp, add 1 shredded red cabbage, 4 tbsp redcurrant jelly and 50ml red wine vinegar. Simmer for 20 mins until the cabbage has wilted, but still has some crunch.

    Served this with the sticky pork recipe (http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/4688/sticky-pork.jsp?binderbox=showlogin#3). My advice is make sure you cook the cabbage for long enough because we were in a bit of a rush and so it didn't turn out as soft or glazed as I would have liked. I didn't have any rice wine vinegar so used a combination of rice vinegar and white wine vinegar. Look out for the star anise after it has cooked because they tend to hide themselves pretty well!

    Very good - would allow more time to cook it than 25 minutes, although I think my cabbage was very big - you can just keep it warm if it's ready ahead of other food. Also served with sticky pork recipe, would make again.
