Rinse and chop the cabbage into large pieces about the size of 1 ½ to 2 inches.
Boil the cabbage for about 2-4 minutes until tender and then remove from water and place onto a plate.
Boil your egg for 8 minutes and then immediately put them in a cold bowl of water to stop the cooking process. Peel the eggs.
Mash the hard-boiled egg in a shallow bowl and add fish sauce and fresh squeezed lime juice to taste. If you want an extra kick, add some chile peppers.
