Definitely! To avoid that strong cabbage smell, try steaming or blanching it first. Adding a splash of vinegar or a squeeze of lemon juice while cooking can help too! Also, cooking it with herbs like thyme or bay leaves can make a big difference.

Hello! I agree, to reduce the strong smell when cooking cabbage, I usually add some vinegar or lemon juice to the pot. Cooking it with a lid on can also help minimize the odor.
