Excellent! With a little tweaking this would be 5 stars. Like using a different vessel and some ginger and cilantro/mint to the filling would take this over the top! I did use romaine lettuce for the wrap in place of the cabbage. I can see if the cabbage choice was a tender napa but the contest called for straight up green cabbage. Just didn't want to wrestle the head of cabbage to remove leaves. I omitted the 1 teaspoon sesame oil and didn't miss it. Used cellophane noodles in place of the rice It`s what I had and what we enjoy. I did cut the sugar in half. Used the full amount of pepper flakes. Used a hand grater for the carrots and radishes. This is so quick to put together. Thank you for posting this refreshing, light, tasty low carb meal.

I liked the flavor and the texture inside the cabbage leaf, but would have liked a less crunchy vessel, maybe a lettuce leaf to hold it all together. The cabbage leafs were too crunchy and firm. You could easily use prepared rotisserie chicken to save time, but I realize for this contest, the recipe had to use chicken drumsticks. Good flavors!
