The hostess, a very kind and polite individual, will share foods that are delicious, but will not tell me what is in it. I should say, she will tell me enough, but not the exacts.</p> <p>These are the items I was told are in it, or that I could identify:<br /> Cabbage Hearts ( She said Napa or Bok Choy, but it is the center core)<br /> Onions<br /> Jalapeno<br /> I want to say Vinegar maybe? it was sweet, sour, and had a nice kick.<br /> Soy Sauce<br /> Maybe a fish sauce.</p> <p>I couldn't get her to tell me exactly what it was called, she just smiled and asked me if I enjoyed it. Of course, it was delicious.</p> <p>Was prepared simply by chopping the onion, slicing the jalapeno, and the cabbage heart, was just quartered. I think it might be a salad or a side dish?</p> <p>Any ideas?</p> <p>Thanks </p>
