This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had used a different stir-fry sauce.

Not bad, but not great. The cabbage was a bit too crunchy for my liking and the sauce was a bit bland. I think I would have liked it better if I had used a different stir-fry sauce.
