Notes
- On a scale of 1 to 5, in terms of spice levels, I would place this dish at a 3. You can eliminate the Serrano peppers if you cant tolerate heat. You could also reduce the number of Serrano peppers to make it less spicy.
- Cabbage tends to give out water and cook without additional water. However, if your instant pot tends to give the burn notice add 1 tablespoon water.
