Thai Shrimp Paste Steamed Cabbage (Easy Rice Cooker Version)

Thai shrimp paste has a unique savory and fragrant flavor, while steaming cabbage preserves its natural sweetness. It becomes rich and flavorful after absorbing the essence of the shrimp paste. Main Ingredients: Half a head of cabbage (washed and sliced or hand-torn into pieces), a little minced garlic. Seasonings: Thai Shrimp Paste: 1 tbsp Fish Sauce: 1/2 tsp Sugar: 1/2 tsp Water: 2 tbsp Instructions: Mix the Sauce: In a small bowl, combine the Thai shrimp paste, fish sauce, sugar, and water. Mix well (shrimp paste is thick, so it's recommended to break it up). Combine: Place the cabbage in a deep dish. Pour the prepared shrimp paste sauce over the cabbage and sprinkle with minced garlic. Steam in Rice Cooker: Add 0.8 cups of water to the outer pot of the rice cooker and press the start button. Mix: Once done, thoroughly mix the cabbage with the sauce at the bottom before serving.
