This recipe is called "Suspiciously" delicious because it's creator is vegetarian and her husband upon tasting it thought it must surely have meat in it due to the flavor. This extra depth of flavor is from the brown bits left after carmelizing the cabbage. Be sure to scrape them up and mix them into the cream as you add that ingredient. Also there is no substitute for the fresh ginger. It truly makes the dish.
