Cabbage Omelet
"I am of Vietnamese descent, but my language skills are dismal. This is a Vietnamese dish that we used to eat at dinner, I cannot recall the name so I made up a name for it. My kids love this dish."

It is awesome to see taste has no boundaries. I have been making this in sorts for years using a variety of greens I have, sometimes using pgk. coleslaw mix. Serving with soy sauce; hoisin sauce and sometimes left over gravy. Thanks for sharing Nado2003 -
This was a nice surprise, as we needed a quick breakfast & I had half a head of purple cabbage to use up. Well, in the future I won't be using the purple, as the end result looks like something Dr. Seuss would dream up! :) The taste, however, was still wonderful. I think this would be a great side with some added seasonings and maybe even some peppers but today it made a quick and easy breakfast for DH & I. Thanks for posting, Nado! Made & enjoyed for Zaar Chef Alphabet Soup Tag Game. -
Very different tasty, satisfying omelet. I had it for dinner with a small side salad. I added some caraway seeds to the cabbage. Lovely flavor. Will make this again -
I really enjoyed this and will definately be making again. Added soy sauce on top after it was done. Made for PAC Srping 08. -
Excellent and simple to make. I added a little soy sauce right before I stirred in the salt and pepper and before adding the eggs. This is good as a side dish served with any kind of meat and main dish. Thanks for posting.
