Charred cabbage with shrimp paste butter from Salt Sugar MSG: Recipes and Stories from a Cantonese American Home (page 114) by Calvin Eng

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Since my cabbage was small I halved the seasoning and compound butter. It was pretty good! I ate it with some rice and dried fish. I wish I had more of the butter to drizzle on top of the rice hehe ??

    This was SO GOOD. So simple, and so flavourful. I could smell it as it was roasting in the oven and could not wait too pull it out and take a bite. YUM!
