Notes

  • Don’t overcook the cabbage! Only saute the cabbage for a couple minutes until it wilts. If you cook it too much it will get very soft and there will be less of a textural variety in the dish. It’s best if the cabbage still has a slight bit of crunch.
  • Get creative! Feel free to switch up the ingredients to suit your family’s taste. Add water chestnuts, mushrooms, or bean sprouts!
  • Add some spice! Stir in a pinch or two of crushed red peppers to add some heat to this dish.
