Tips:
- For a more flavorful cabbage, add 1 tablespoon of minced garlic to the skillet when cooking the cabbage.
- If the cow's guts are not cleaned properly, they can have a strong odor. To remove the odor, soak the guts in milk for several hours before cooking.
- This dish can be served as an appetizer or main course.
