Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use a different type of cabbage for this recipe?
A: Yes, you can use red cabbage or Napa cabbage as substitutes. Keep in mind that red cabbage has a firmer texture and may take slightly longer to grill, while Napa cabbage is more delicate and may require less grilling time.
Q: What can I substitute for peanut butter in the sauce for allergies?
A: You can substitute almond butter, sunflower seed butter, or tahini for peanut butter. Adjust the consistency with warm water as needed and taste to ensure the flavor balance is satisfactory.
Q: Can this recipe be made without a grill?
A: Absolutely! You can cook the cabbage steaks in a grill pan on your stovetop or roast them in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through to achieve a slightly charred texture.
Q: How do I store leftovers, and can they be reheated?
A: Store leftover cabbage steaks and sauce separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat the cabbage steaks in the oven or on a stovetop grill for best results, and slightly warm the sauce before drizzling.
Q: Can I make the spicy peanut drizzle ahead of time?
A: Yes, you can prepare the peanut drizzle up to 3 days in advance. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. To use, bring it to room temperature or warm it slightly before drizzling over the cabbage.
Q: Is there a way to make this recipe spicier or less spicy?
A: To make it spicier, increase the amount of sriracha sauce in the peanut drizzle or add a pinch of red pepper flakes. To make it less spicy, reduce or omit the sriracha and add a tiny bit more honey or maple syrup for balance.
Q: What are some good side dishes to serve with this recipe?
A: This recipe pairs well with steamed jasmine rice, quinoa, or a simple cucumber salad. You can also serve it alongside grilled protein like chicken, shrimp, or tofu for a more substantial meal.
