Treat your ingredients with care...

• Mushrooms — Make sure to clean the mushrooms thoroughly before slicing. If using fresh mushrooms, wipe them with a damp cloth instead of washing them to prevent them from becoming waterlogged.

Tips & Tricks

• For a richer flavor, you can add a splash of soy sauce or Worcestershire sauce to the cabbage and mushroom mixture.
• If you prefer a crispier top, broil the dish for a few minutes after baking.
• Feel free to customize the dish by adding other vegetables such as bell peppers or carrots.
