    Cook's tips

    You can use any kind of cabbage or greens such as Savoy or pointed cabbage in this recipe. For more of a store cupboard recipe, use dried noodles as an alternative to fresh.

    Drinks recommendation

    There’s one grape variety that’s a reliable match with spicy food and that’s Gewürztraminer. Cave de Turckheim Gewürztraminer 2009 Alsace, France, is generous on the palate, retaining spice and tropical fruit.
