A wonderful surprise! This is not the typical cooked cabbage dish. The celery and cabbage retain some of their crunch while adding flavor to to the dish. It's like eating a hot salad with a complexity of flavors. Cabbage combined with smokey bacon, tomatoes sweetened by onions, green pepper and a bit of sugar and celery which adds an oriental twist. A very colorful dish with great flavor and texture. Thanks MG, for a new cabbage favorite!

And I don't even like cooked cabbage!, but this is really good! I only cooked the cabbage to crisp-tender as I am a texture-sensitive person, and I like the crunch. I served it with [recipe=43114]Uncle Larry's Texas Short Ribs 43114[/recipe] and it was the perfect side dish.

I didn't have any celery, so I used celery seed for flavour and doubled the green pepper. And it came out GREAT! VERY easy, and very filling! I served it with a side of kielbasa to complete the meal.

We really enjoyed this simple dish Mysterygirl. Great flavor and excellent textures. The addition of the tomatoe and celery is a nice touch. So much flavor, yummm. I have added this to our keeper box. Thanks so much for sharing. Made for May-Country Cooking/10 :)

Back then the original owners Troy and Gay ran the site and they had a lot of interaction with the members. I miss them. <br /> <br />Through the years it still remains to this day my favorite go to site and the one that I send all of my friends and family to when they need anything.</p> 8724616"
