Notes

You don't need the scallion paste to make this, nor do you need the cilantro sauce. It can be simply braised with onions, broth, and tomato paste. Along with any flavors you want to add.

The beauty of this one, is that it's warm and inviting. Comforting. Especially with conehead cabbage! The variety is more tender, and when it's braised you really feel the difference/ This really can be a special dish made in so many ways.
