Where to find ingredients
You can find these staple ingredients at any local open-air market or neighborhood grocery shop. Look for fresh produce, including cabbage and peppers, at market stalls. Beef and bacon are readily available at local butcher counters. If you need a substitute for the culinary sweetener, a small pinch of sugar is commonly used in traditional home cooking.
