Increase heat to medium high and then add garlic, onion, ginger, peppercorns and potatoes; cook for 10 minutes.
Add saba, cabbages and Serrano peppers; cook for another 10 minutes or until potatoes are fork tender.
Correct seasoning by adding fish sauce or salt and brown sugar, if using. Serve with steamed rice and fish sauce with lemon juice on the side.
Enjoy!
