Remove cabbage and corned beef. Cut beef into slices and arrange
attractively on serving platter. Place cabbage around the beef slices;
spoon the mayonnaise dressing over top of each cabbage wedge. Serve
immediately.

NOTES : A wok doubles as an excellent way of steaming foods. Meat,
vegetables and desserts can be steamed easily. When shopping for a
wok, be sure to get one that has a rack and a tight fitting lid.
