Cabbage With Mustard Sauce Recipe

This recipe, inspired by a June 2009 Cooperative Living magazine, delivers a comforting and flavorful cabbage dish. The creamy mustard sauce is a delightful complement to the tender cabbage. We've tweaked the original recipe for optimal results: using whole wheat flour adds a nutty depth, but start with a smaller amount (1 tablespoon) to prevent it from becoming too thick. Soy milk adds creaminess—adjust to your preferred consistency. This easy recipe is ready in under 30 minutes!
