I can't say that this recipe turned out as good as I remember it and for me it might have been an issue with the cabbage being too firm. Part of the problem might be that I neglected to wash the cabbage before cooking, which I should remember to do in the future.
The carrots in ginger sauce were awfully good, though. I'm tempted to try a recipe of carrots, sweet potatoes and this ginger sauce, as that may be quite tasty.
