Very nice dish and I now make this frequently. For those on sodium restricted diets substitute 2 Tbsp of lemon juice for the soy sauce. Zest up the dish with 1/2 tsp of chili flakes or cayenne pepper. Adding caraway seed or celery seed also adds a new dimension to the dish.
Tried it for the first time tonight. It turned out great. Easy, and quick. I think I will add cashews next time.
Delicious; I've made it twice so far and my family loves it. I like to follow the suggestion uner "Notes" and grate a carrot in with the cabbage for color. You can also snip green onions diagonally with a pair of scissors over the top when it's done for a little fresh burst of flavor. But even plain it's a good reliable dish that tastes appealing. I like to use fresh garlic and ginger in my cooking, but for people who don't normally stock those items in their pantry, the dried spices are quite respectable.
