Heat a large skillet to medium and add oil or vegetable broth. Then add cabbage, onions, bell pepper, celery and tomatoes, jalapeño pepper and add seasonings. Cover. Cook for about 15 minutes until the vegetables are crisp and tender, not mushy. Check for salt and pepper and add pepper sauce. Serve.
Keep a frozen bag of tri-colored bell peppers in your freezer for those times when fresh bell pepper is not on hand. They are not perfect but they will be adequate.
