It was wonderful! @Sarah1786 - add garlic if you like - make it your own. Don't dog a recipe because YOU think it is missing an ingredient. Add it and post your results.

I liked the crunchy cabbage and the sweetness that came from the caramelization of the cabbage. I sautéed some red bell pepper and spinach after removing the cabbage and served with udon noodles.
One important note: do not cook the cabbage in dark sesame oil it has a low burn point and will become bitter and burnt. Start out with a neutral oil like canola or vegetable oil and the sesame oil at the end.

Delicious and cheap ! Used chili garlic sauce instead of sambal and added some shredded green onions . I served it as a sidedish with homemade teriyaki burgers . I think it would be great on the burger as well . , sort of like a kimchi burger. Also think it would be great over some rice noodles.

Looks good, but where's the garlic? There's no garlic in sambal oelek...

Excellent! I didn't have cilantro so left it out. Still was very good. Will make it many more times. Fast and easy.
