It says use a large pot, I used a lodge cast iron enamel 6 qt. I used a lg onion bc I love them and had to use a tiny bit more olive oil bc of it. Used large cabbage. Used kirkland organic chicken stock, added 4 extra cups bc my cabbage was so big. Added a third tsp of white vinegar. And to top it off, a little sprinkle of msg. Not as healthy as the original, but delicious and healthier than the take out I almost ordered instead.
