The first time I had grilled cabbage it was a revelation. I was completely caught off guard by how delicious it was. The simple cabbage, elevated to a nutty, smoky, still slightly crunchy experience. Good ol’ Kenji nailed this combination of the cabbage and spicy Thai dressing - it is delicious. I highly recommend giving it a go.
