Notes

  • You can steam cabbage and bell peppers instead of sauteing.
  • Cook or steam cabbage and bell peppers a day before and store in the fridge.  Mix rest of the ingredients just before making sandwiches.  
  • Use spices and herbs of your choice. Feel free to replace green chilies and mustard powder with black pepper, hot sauce and dijon mustard.
  • For hot sandwiches, grill sandwiches in a pan or sandwich maker.
  • Cream cheese is a good substitute for mayonnaise.  I used Philadelphia cream cheese once.  Feel free to use cream cheese of your choice.  Thick yogurt or Greek yogurt is also a good substitute for mayo.
