5
While the pot is simmering, dust the chicken with with flour, shake off any excess and brown on both sides in a frying pan with oil (not listed in the ingredients)., then take out.

Turn the heat down and simmer for about 10 to 15 minutes.
8
When the cabbage is soft, add the ingredients marked (soy sauce and pepper) and adjust the seasoning.
