Instructions
There are two methods to capture the cabbage juice.
Method 1
Transfer cabbage to a bowl and sprinkle salt over. Mix well with your hands. Let sit up to an hour. You can give the cabbage an occasional stir and even squeeze it every once in a while to extract more liquid. Collect the cabbage juice and proceed to step 3.
If you use method 1, you likely won’t need to add any additional salt on your egg.
Method 2
Transfer cabbage to a microwave safe bowl and cover. Microwave high 4 - 5 minutes so the cabbage softens and releases juices. Let cool completely.
Place cabbage in cheesecloth and squeeze over a bowl to capture the cabbage juice.
Separate the eggs placing yellow in one bowl and white in another.
Combine egg white with a bit of the cabbage juice and mix together with fork; colour will change to green.
Heat a pan over medium-high heat and add an egg ring to the pan. Add oil or butter, then pour in the egg white mixture. Place the yolk on top. Cook the egg to your desired doneness. We lower the heat, then place a lid on top to cook the yolk.
