As I said before, I love cabbage and I tried several recipes before I made my own. Each time I made the other recipes I ended up with a runny, flavorless meat concoction with chewy rice. Every recipe called for too much liquid especially considering how much liquid the cabbage releases. So if you have tried this before and not liked it give it another try. I use tomato paste instead of soup so that it in a thick more meaty dish.

One of my favorite things about this recipe it that it includes the veggies so I have one less thing to prepare when I get home. Also, whenever I make meals that include rice I always use my rice maker. This really makes dinner a breeze because I don’t have to anything. We literally walk in the door and make our plates. I use the Zojirushi Rice Maker which is amazing. It has a timer and setting for brown or white rice which is helpful.
