  • “This has a delicious flavor that is nicely balanced between not too sweet or sour. It was very easy to make, and left the cabbage slightly firm; but if one wanted to cook the devil out of it (like my hubby) it’s very easy to simmer it a bit longer (just add a tbsp water as needed). This would go great with roasted chicken or duck, or perhaps Schnitzel. Thanks for a great recipe, Evie*!”

  • “I served this as a do ahead then reheat hot dish. It was an excellent dish enjoyed by all.”

  • “I’m not going to give this a star rating because I don’t know if this was the recipe I was looking for. I was looking for a recipe like I had at the Crab Cracker in Kirkland, WA, and this wasn’t it- the balance of sweet/sour/richness wasn’t the same. I followed the recipe to the T, but cooking on medium low heat it started to burn and I had to add water. Even after 34-40 minutes of cooking it wasn’ttender- I sliced the cabbage as thin as I could,maybe I needed to use a v-slicer instead.”

  • “this was very easy to make and delicious. i used a sugar substitute and a bit of honey instead of the brown sugar and it turned out great.”

  • “This was a very easy recipe and tasty.I would add onion next time and maybe cider vinegar.Thanks for the recipe.I served it with pork chops and baked potatoes.”

  • “This was an easy recipe to make.I used pre-sliced red cabbage and just added the other ingredients of the recipe. It had a perfect mixture of sweet and sour taste.I served this hot with Easy Parmesan Garlic Chicken (Recipe #86052) with a side dish of buttered noodles. “

  • “I’ve heard about sweet and sour cabbage all my life but never tasted it until today when I made this simple recipe.It’s delicious. I served it cold.I followed the recipe exactly except for cooking times.It took six minutes total to stir this up in my wok.I want to try this dish again.Next time I’d use rice vinegar or 2T white vinegar and 2T water. And I think some onion slices (red or white) would add some interest.I served this with fried red snapper. But, I think this dish would really go better with ham, sausages or a mesquite grilled steak. Mmmm, Mmmm.”
