Notes
It is important to shred the cabbage thinly and evenly. I like to use a food processor to do this.
Cabbage and potato have different cooking times. After adding potatoes, let it saute for 2-3 minutes, then add the cabbage and pressure cook. This way, they will be cooked evenly together.
A very small amount of sugar is used. It does not make the dish sweet but rather balances the flavors. Do not skip it.
