2 pounds round white cabbage

1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons oil
1 tablespoon oil
1. Discard tough outer leaves and core of cabbage. Cut in 1-inch cubes.
2. Combine brown sugar, soy sauce, vinegar and salt.
3. Heat oil. Add cabbage and stir-fry until translucent but still crisp (about 3 minutes). Transfer to a bowl.
4. Heat remaining oil. Add brown sugar-soy mixture and cook, stirring, until sugar dissolves. Then pour over cabbage and toss.
5. Transfer to a tightly covered container and refrigerate overnight.
