In the meantime, prepare the vinaigrette. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat and sweat the shallots for 2-3 minutes until they turn slightly translucent. Then add the broth, sugar, and vinegar. Let the vinaigrette come to a boil, then turn off the heat.

With your hands, massage the cabbage and squeeze out as much water as possible. Pour the hot broth over the cabbage and add the rest of the oil. Mix everything well and let the cabbage salad sit for at least 20 minutes in the fridge to let the flavors mingle. Shortly before serving, take it out of the fridge and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
