I really enjoyed this! I had leftovers all week. I used it in a veggie wrap with homemade guac, mixed greens and shredded carrots and it was so tasty. I also added it to stir fry a few times. The only thing I did differently was that I let the cabbage marinate in the mirin and soy sauce with the garlic and ginger for an hour before cooking. This is one of my favourite recipes right now.

A very attractive looking dish and an interesting new way for me to use red cabbage. I had to sub a slug of dry sherry for the mirin. Another time I think I'll add some chinese spice to the mix too.

This just didn't come out as expected. My DH and I really didn't like the taste and it seemed a little bland. I don't know what I did wrong, but I don't think I'll be trying this again. Sorry.
