I'm not a huge fan of cabbage, but this dish was surprisingly good! The cabbage was tender and flavorful, and the green beans added a nice crunch.

Overall, this is a solid recipe. The cabbage and green beans are cooked well and the sauce is flavorful. However, I would recommend adding a bit more salt and pepper to taste.

This dish is a bit too bland for my taste. I would add some more spices or herbs next time.

Not a fan. The cabbage was too crunchy and the green beans were bland. The sauce was also a bit too heavy for my taste.

Quick, easy, and delicious! I made this for a weeknight meal and it was a hit with the whole family. The cabbage and green beans were tender and flavorful, and the sauce was creamy and rich.
