Cabbage Recipe and Reflecting on Variations of Seasoning

(Like my mom makes; with lots of black pepper. Carrots optional)

Flat Taiwanese/Korean cabbage, onions (usually I use yellow or white, today, red), frozen peas, carrots, lots of black pepper, salt; avocado for cooking oil. Afterwards it was missing something, and jumped up in improvement with the addition of garlic powder, more salt, and paprika. (And, cayenne pepper for the second half of my bowl)

       I tend to add paprika to a lot of foods without quite knowing if it's doing much. However, after today when I added the paprika after the additional salt and garlic powder, I recognized very clearly again. I hadn't cooked a food with it, but after I had microwaved it I put the paprika straight on and mixed it into the warm food. I think maybe adding some paprika this way instead of putting all of the amount of paprika straight in stews and such right from the beginning may make the flavor come out even more. #food
