This is a *very* tasty, creative & unique idea that DH & I loved! It was a timely find as I am trying to use a *huge* head of cabbage DH bought for just 2 of us. We love SJs & all these ingredients, so I made no effort to disguise them & just rough chopped the veggies. I added salt + more garlic than specified, reduced the cook time by half & liked the still slightly crisp veggie texture. I did have to watch it closely, stir freq to keep it from sticking to the pan & add a bit more water. My hamb buns were giant-sized, so 1 was a filling meal. Love this recipe! Thx for sharing it w/us. :-)
