Notes about this recipe

    The caramelised red cabbage in particular is very moreish. Never thought of roasting red cabbage and it’s full of umami if you use a good quality tamari. I’ve made this probably 50 times+. A good quality curry powder - something I never use otherwise! - and plenty of lime with a small sprinkle of sugar at the end are a must. I much prefer this with a bog standard wholewheat noodle to udon and don’t use a ‘ready to wok’ preparation. I’m not at all evangelical about whole grains but we prefer the taste (weirdly!) here. Something about the flavour of the cruciferous vegetables. Lovely recipe and simple to prepare. I’ve never prepared the pickled ginger, it’s tasty enough without as long as you have fresh limes.

    A bit funky-- with a lot of dishes. Didn't dislike it but a bit odd. We didn't need extra salt---the ginger brings out the dish.

    The whole family liked this a lot even without the ginger. Cabbage and cauliflower took 20 minutes, next time will just use one tray to make clean-up easier. Using “straight-to-wok” udon noodles makes this a very quick midweek dish.

    I agree with Lepa- more salt and DO NOT leave out the ginger. A great way to get the kids to eat veggies, everybody tried it! I used dried udon noodles, parboiled them before throwing them in the pan and that worked out just fine. Cabbage did not take as long as stated, and both veggies could've used a bit more oil.

    The combination of red cabbage and cauliflower does not meld well together, and the overall flavours are just off

    This was pretty easy to throw together and I liked the fact that it was half vegetables. It needed a bit more salt and the ginger was essential (without it, this would be a bit bland).
