  This is the second time I am making this recipe. The first time I did not have all the right ingredients but it was still great. Now I have every thing needed and well the aroma is nostalgic. Everyone loves it and the neigbours arae asking what smells so good.

  I love red cabbage, always order it when I go out if it is on the menu or but it in the premade/reheat packs. This was my first attempt at making it myself. I cannot believe how easy it was and how tasty it is! (and an excellent excuse the get the port out early on in the winter :) ) We had it with a steak pie.....I think it will go really well with some pork tomorrow night......

  I love red cabbage too and enjoyed cooking this - nice and esay! However, I felt the 5 spice powder had enough cinnamon in it so for my taste, I wouldn't add the cinnamon stick next time. I also prefer it tangy rather than sweet, so would probably leave most of the sugar out too. But I like the unusual spice taste to it!

  I have a regular recipe I make for red cabbage and thought I would try this for a change. I loved it and froze the left overs. It freezes brilliantly .

  This recipe is such a beautiful thing, really. I just had to replace the cinnamon, because my mother is allergic and I wanted her to taste it. So I put in a vanilla pod, let out the asian flavours and replaced them with 3 cloves and 2 bay leaves. The smell of this dish was outstanding and the taste was very, very convincing. My mother is hard to please when it comes to food and she loved it, too. Strongly recommended to cook this. :-) Red cabbage is a very traditional and common dish in Germany, we serve it with dumplings and meat or, what I also did, serve it with fried sausage and mash. It is also loved on Christmas with a turkey or the traditional way as told above.
