I don't think my cabbage was fully steamed; it was too "crisp" for our tastes. There was a little too much bite sometimes, and not enough in others... I don't know why, but the sauce didn't seem too be evenly distributed, even though I did toss it quite well. I skipped the caraway seeds. Thanks for posting.

I had never cooked steamed cabbage before, and I enjoyed the tender-crispy cabbage and the tangy sauce. I doubled the sauce; I like the taste of vinegar so I poured the extra on my cabbage. I also added some more salt, but that's because I use a lot of salt in everything (not healthy, though). Yum! Thanks for posting this delicious way to cook cabbage.
