Cabbage Omelet

Nado2003's Note:

I am of Vietnamese descent, but my language skills are dismal. This is a Vietnamese dish that we used to eat at dinner, I cannot recall the name so I made up a name for it. My kids love this dish.

This was a nice surprise, as we needed a quick breakfast & I had half a head of purple cabbage to use up. Well, in the future I won't be using the purple, as the end result looks like something Dr. Seuss would dream up! :) The taste, however, was still wonderful. I think this would be a great side with some added seasonings and maybe even some peppers but today it made a quick and easy breakfast for DH & I. Thanks for posting, Nado! Made & enjoyed for Zaar Chef Alphabet Soup Tag Game.

Very different tasty, satisfying omelet. I had it for dinner with a small side salad. I added some caraway seeds to the cabbage. Lovely flavor. Will make this again
