Hi Maria, What kind of Chili Paste (brand, too) do you like with this recipe? We are looking forward to trying out this recipe on Wednesday!
ReplyDeleteI have yet to find a chili paste without sugar!:( you could use chili powder if you wanted to avoid the sugar... Just an idea.
ReplyDeleteLet me know what you think!
Happy Cooking!
this recipe is really awesome. my family was eating chinese and i thought this would be a good sub for me. it was really awesome. i will be making it a usual in my line up!
ReplyDeleteHi Maria,
ReplyDeleteCan you tell me if the amount of Tamari sauce is a misprint? I made it as stated, but it was VERY salty.
Thanks
Diana
Hi, yes that is the recipes. If it is too salty for you you can try low sodium tamari or cut it down from the 8 tablespoons. :)
DeleteThis was delicious. As I was eating it I thought that mushrooms would be a good addition, and since the cabbage cooks down so much, I really could have added another head of cabbage as well. But this was really good.
ReplyDeleteThanks Nancy! Glad you liked it. :)
DeleteYummy dish!!! I made this last night and garnished with fresh grated ginger. I love ginger! I also used Brags liquid amino gluten free soy sauce. My fiance also loved this dish. Since he is not gluten free I gave him rice on the side.
ReplyDeleteThanks! :)
DeleteLately, I have not been sleeping well and it causes me to eat more the next day. Do you have tricks to avoiding overeating on those days?
DeleteTake l-glutamine 3 grams when hunger strikes and go to bed. :)
