Directions
makes roughly 8 1-cup servings

saute the onion and garlic along with 1 TABLESPOON ONLY of chili paste -- you may want to add more to taste later, but it's easy to overdo.

Once the onions are partly cooked add the meat and cook down until the meat is thoroughly cooked and crumbled.

Allow meat/onion mix to simmer in it's own stock for 30 minutes, then drain off as much of the excess as you can.

while the meat cooks bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Remove from heat and add the Bouillon (OR if you have beef stock on hand, omit the bouillon/water and just heat the bouillon to a boil, remove from heat and proceed). Also add the brown sugar, dry mustard and vinegar, mix well and set aside until the meat is cooked, simmered and drained.

Return to heat, add cabbage and the bouillon/vinegar mixture. Stir thoroughly and bring the liquid up to a simmer. Cover and let simmer 20 minutes.

Add the cracked black pepper and then taste for seasoning adjustment. It may need a touch more salt, chili paste or vinegar ..depending on your taste.

I served mine over toasted and cooked wheat berries... very tasty.
