Lemongrass Melting Curry Cabbage
This Lemongrass Melting Curry Cabbage is a recipe I developed for Red Boat Fish Sauce, using their lemongrass curry simmer sauce. It transforms simple cabbage into a dish packed with flavor! The cabbage wedges are first seared, then slowly baked in a fragrant sauce made with lemongrass curry, coconut milk, and aromatics.
This cabbage dish works as a flavorful vegetable side to serve alongside rice and protein! If you don’t have the simmer sauce, I recommend sauteeing about 2 Tbsp of minced lemongrass with the aromatics and stirring in 1 Tbsp of red curry paste.
