Vietnamese Cabbage

"A little unusual but easy side dish to prepare. Chinese cabbage can be used as well as ordinary cabbage. Some tabasco or red pepper flakes could spice it up quite nicely if desired."

  1. This was really good, I used red cabbage and the colour was gorgeous, will have to double the recipe next time as hubby had a big pig out!!!
     
  2. Nice vegetable side dish, I have had a bottle of fish sauce for a couple of months and never used it before, gives this cabbage dish a lovely flavour, also liked the addition of the egg. The cabbage wasnt 'wet' which sometimes happens when I make cabbage. Thanks Tebo. =)
     
  3. My mother made this often when I was a kid - it is as good as I remember it. I added shredded carrots, eyeballed the fish sauce (so there was more than called for) and added a dollop of garlic-chili sauce. Thank you for the memory!
     
  4. This is most enjoyable. Used your suggestion of adding some chilli flakes it was delicious. Just a bit different. Simple, tasty, easy and nourishing. Served this with Baked Rice and Lentils. Great double act. Bring on more of those great vege recipes Tebo.
     
  5. This was pretty good, 'tho I think it needs more 'uumph'. Even though I added a bit of extra soy and some hot sauce, it lacked seasoning for me. But I like the cooking method and the addition of the egg, which I wouldn't have thought of using.
