Here's a great recipe for cabbage I think I've never posted before.  It's
really good.  The original veg specified was kang-kong, but included
alternate suggestion of cabbage turned out to be much better than either
kang-kong or regular spinach in this recipe.

Hinnunwe	(Burmese Cabbage, Spinach, or Kang-kong Stir-Fry)
	(The Burmese Kitchen, Copeland Marks and Aung Thein, 1987)

1 lb.	cabbage, sliced (or spinach or kang-kong, fresh, washed)
1 Tbs.	oil, peanut
2 Tbs.	onion, sliced
1	garlic clove, thinly sliced
2 Tbs.	shrimp powder (made by grinding dried shrimps)
1 Tbs.	fish sauce
	salt to taste
2 Tbs.	chiles, green, hot, thinly sliced

Heat the oil and stir-fry the onion and garlic over moderate heat for 2
minutes; they will be golden-brown.  Add shrimp powder and fry a bit, until
shrimp gets a little browned.  Add fish sauce and fry a bit, until dried.

Add cabbage/spinach/kang-kong/whatever and chile and stir-fry until done.
With cabbage, after the first 3 minutes or so of stir-frying, we just let
it finish cooking covered and unattended.
