“We love serving these ‘bowls’ on a summer evening the cabbage leaves work so well at containing all the ingredients, ibid the satay sauce gives the salad and veg a wonderful lift. A real winner!” Shawn Salad
NOTE
Switch it up and save on time! instead of making satag sauce, drizzle your cabbage bowls with sweet chilli sauce.
