Notes

  1. When cooking with cabbage it’s important to note that it  naturally contains water in its leaves. So start  by adding just a small amount of water.  And add more as cabbage cooks, add more or less as you cook.  You  do not want too much liquid in your dish.
  2.  Be mindful of the fact that Corn beef is salty so air on the side of less salt . You may add more as you go.
  3.  If you  like  chunks of corn beef  , do not stir after you add.
