1. Heat oil in a large saucepan, add cabbage, ginger, onions, allspice and mustard seeds, then cook for 5 mins until just starting to wilt.
2. Scatter over the sugar and pour in the vinegar. Cover pan, gently cook for 10 mins, then remove lid and turn up the heat to medium. Simmer the liquid in the cabbage for about 20 mins, stirring occasionally, then stir continuously for the last few mins until all the liquid has evaporated and becomes sticky on the bottom of the pan. Tip cabbage into a large bowl and serve.

STIR-FRIED CRUNCHY CHRISTMAS CABBAGE

Heat the oil in a large wok, then briefly fry the ginger and dry spices. Add the shredded cabbage plus 2 tbsp red wine vinegar and 1 tbsp honey. Fry for a few mins until the cabbage just begins to wilt.
