Tibetan Cabbage Stir-Fry (Logo Petse)

lynnski / LA's Note:

This is a meatless version of the traditional Logo Petse, as it is served at the Lhasa Moon, a Tibetan Restaurant, located in San Francisco. Some cooking notes: use the standard head cabbage, which is the type grown in Tibet. As for the spicing used in this recipe, according to the Tibetan chef at the Tibet Nepal House (our favorite Himalayan restaurant), Tibetan cuisine is the least spiced of the Himalayan cuisines. If one wishes to add seasonings, some that are common to Himalayan cuisine include - black and white cardamom, Jimbu, garlic, ginger, cumin, coriander, nutmeg, cinnamon, Ajwain, star anis, Timboor, chili, turmeric, saffron, sesame seed and mustard seed.

[Hey jude from montana]

Sorry, but I think you must have left some stuff out. I made it exactly as the recipe and I had tasteless slightly warmed up veggies. No spice except paprika just doesn't work. I added some hoisen and soyu and cooked it another 10 minutes and it was sort of eatable. Sure wish I knew the rest of the recipe Jude
