Layering flavors, and textures is a simple way to add depth and interest to a dish.  Baked Cabbage Stacks are a good example of this technique, our recipe starts with a base of mildly sweet cabbage and is then topped with ingredients that are earthy (mushrooms), sweet (carrots), savory (garlic and onions), and warm (ginger).  In other words, flavorful!  Prep ahead of time and throw it in the oven when you’re ready. To make it a meal serve Baked Cabbage Stacks over steamed rice and topped with a fried egg.
