Altered ingredient amounts. We've made this twice now and have really enjoyed it. The second time was for guests. I like more cabbage so we doubled the quantity. It even tasted good the next day cold right out of the fridge. If you like the "fresh" taste of mint and coriander you will enjoy this recipe. - 29 Sep 2008
Altered ingredient amounts. I had to try this because it had some of my all time favourite things in it (prawns, coriander, ginger and honey!) I've never cooked with mint (only used it for tea) but really, it does add a special touch to this recipe! And the only thing I had to do differently than the shown recipe here, was to add MORE prawns! Very elegant and delicious Larry! - 29 Sep 2008
Altered ingredient amounts. Delicious! I made this dinner 3x in the past two weeks I enjoyed it so much. The flavours in this dish come together very nicely. I added a bit more cabbage and ommited the ginger. One of the best recipes I have tried so far! - 29 Sep 2008
