-Cover and cook over medium-low heat until it begins to soften, stirring occasionally to prevent burning, add broth or water if needed to maintain steam

-Stir in ¼ cup balsamic vinegar and a couple of pinches of sea salt, cover & continue cooking until cabbage is al dente (or whatever degree of cooked you prefer)
