Variations[]

  • You can substitute other vegetables if you like. Just add the sturdier, longer-cooking vegetables first and the more delicate vegetables in the second simmering. This prevents over- or under-cooking.
  • Add some cubed tofu, tempeh or some shrimp with the cabbage and scallions if you like.
