Notes

*Vegetable Stock:   We use Pacific Organic Low Sodium Vegetable Stock. We love this brand because it is Whole Food Plant Based compliant, as it does not contain MSG, has no oil, and does not contain any highly-processed ingredients.

*Ume Plum Vinegar: Ume Plum Vinegar is perfect for this recipe as it has that deliciously tangy flavor which complements the cabbage. It is relatively inexpensive.  We use it quite frequently and it worth requesting it from your local grocery, or ordering off of Amazon in our humble opinion.

*Miso:  We used Miso Master Organic Mellow White Premium Lite Miso, Certified Gluten Free.  Miso really lends itself to balancing flavors when you don’t use oil. You can also substitute with chickpea miso for a soy free version.

*Liquid Smoke:  The liquid smoke is optional.  If you would like to try it, we suggest adding a little bit at a time  to test it out. It does add a nice flavor component to this dish.

*Sea Salt: Please adjust the sea salt based upon your family’s sea salt preferences and/or based upon dietary needs.

*Makes: 4-5 Servings

*Storage: Refrigerate and use within 7 days.
