This is very filling...I wish it had more noodles...but hubby and I loved the Asian flavors...I made it early in the day...I wasn't sure if I was suppose to mix all the ingredients together before letting it set in the frig...so I decided to keep them separate so as to not wilt the cabbage...I also used savory cabbage because I couldn't find a small napa...I cut the recipe in half for the two of us...yum...thanks for posting it...=)
