Healthy Cooking Tips:

When cutting and cooking cod or halibut for dishes such as this it is best to buy filets that are thick as thin pieces tend to fall apart. You can sear the pieces on all sides by stirring gently before adding the liquid. This will seal in the flavor. The real key to the success of this recipe is to make sure both the cabbage and bean sprouts are still almost raw. By slicing the cabbage very thin you can add it at the end of the cooking with the sprouts. This gives you a dish that tastes fresh and alive.
