This was really, really good! I loved the cabbage chunks, and the mild flavor of the sauce. And I loved the caraway in the dumplings, although my kids didn't. Next time I make this, and there will definitely be a next time, I will probably use noodles for the kids, and make fewer dumplings, just for the grownups. Fantastic cold-weather dinner, 3KB's! Thanks!
