A Mouthwatering Dish of Cabbage and Beans

This is a delightful recipe that some friends shared with us several years ago. It provides a perfect blend of sweet and savory, and pairs beautifully with freshly cooked rice, quiona, or any other grain dish.

Rich in healthy protein and a variety of cancer-fighting phytonutrients, this is one dish that even the pickiest of eaters tend to gobble up.

For additional texture, try serving some fresh avocado slices on the side. Any grain dish will work, but we prefer this sweet and sour bean and cabbage dish with freshly cooked rice or quiona. Enjoy!

Wow, this recipe sounds awesome. I love every ingredient that is in this recipe and now I am curious of the combination. Thanks for sharing.

This turned out really great, thanks for sharing!

Thank you for this fantastic recipe! I used adzuki beans instead and it was SO delicious and I love how healthy it was. I'm thinking of trying it with cashew nuts next time. Only because it had the flavor of my old Chinese take-out favorite, Chicken Cashew. Really LOVE this new recipe. Thank you!

Oh, that looks good and is it ever making me hungry. I can almost imagine all the flavors together. Low in fat, good for the body and healing ingredients incorporated into the dish, too. Got to try it!
