This was very tasty. My husband and almost 2 year old loved it- cabbage, onion, carrots, peas and all. I drizzled my own plate with some soy sauce but it was good either way. Very quick dinner.

Easy to make, and the pork was tasty. I also used coleslaw mix with carrots to make it even easier. I did wish the pasta had some sort of light sauce.

This dish is outstanding. It is easy to make and even great as leftovers. I made it easier by using packaged coleslaw mix and julienne sliced carrots. It is also great with chicken. I served it with spring rolls to complete the meal. Try it!....you'll like it.
