[Janie]

Do any exist? :)

 

Thanks!

Yes, cut some up and add it to a stir-fry.

Rachael Ray's Moo Shu Chicken Patties with Seared Napa Cabbage (here) is one of our favorites!

:iagree: I love cabbage in stir-fry. Or you could add it to a soup. Make egg rolls?

[Mrs Mungo]

I use it in my wontons.

I cut it up and cook it in a little butter. Add salt. Then I serve it over noodles. SOOOO not good for you, but VERY tasty!

[Matryoshka]

I have a recipe that's really good, but it's kind of half salady, half entree -

 

You brown some chicken strips, cook some soba noodles, then mix those and the shredded cabbage together with a peanut sauce. Very yummy hot, cold, or even room temperature. Also very quick to make.

I'm not sure what is Napa Cabbage re:other cabbage. I like swedish red cabbage (cooked with vinegar, butter, sugar--add jelly and apples towards the end.. PM if you want the whole recipe. Ever look on allrecipes.com? I find sooooo much stuff there.

I just had some for lunch. I stir fried the cabbage with sesame oil and fresh, minced ginger. Then add sesame seeds and soy sauce. Yum!

Napa cabbage is sometimes called Chinese cabbage. It is more leafy than regular cabbage. It's almost like a cross between cabbage and romaine.

Kimchee (kimchi) -- but really, that's just Korean coleslaw. :D

[kalanamak]

Chop coarsely and simmer in ramen noodle broth, add the noodles once half cooked and make ramen the usual way. I do half Napa, half noodle, so the saltiness and starch is diluted.

 

Cut crosswise into 1/2" pieces. Saute with little oil on very high heat (cover) until nearly done. Add a little water (if needed) some minced ginger and garlic, stir a few times, add some cornstarch to thicken the liquid, and a zap of soy sauce (or google Chinese white sauce for ideas). Yum.

I use it in homemade Chinese dumplings. Sooo good!

DH makes a sauteed/stewed cabbage dish with coconut milk, mustard seed, and other spices. It's really good - but it's his specialty, not mine. If you're interested, I'll ask him for the recipe (he's out of town at the moment so I can't just now!).

My grandma seems to prefer Napa cabbage for stuffed cabbage leaves; I think she thought it was less gas. I'd imagine it's easier to peel them off to make them than a regular head cabbage.

Yes please!

[Tohru]

lol! Here I thought that napa cabbage was only good for kimchi...I make it all the time and had no clue you could actually do other things with it. :lol:

[LibraryLover]

Soup, stir fy, kimchee... pretty much anytime one wants a nice leavy green? Stautee or steam. It's yum.

[Peela]

Just steam/stirfy with a decent dob of butter and lots of pepper. I like a dash of lemon juice, too.

[Giraffe]

Yes please!

 

Working on it. We're moving so everything's in boxes and in transit. But I WILL find it!

[LauraGB]

Aside from stir frying it for lo mein, I like it quickly grilled with olive oil and salt and pepper.

Caught a lucky break in a Google search. This is the webpage that originated the dish. DH plays around with the recipe (leaves out the ginger, usually), but basically this is what he does: http://akshayapaatram.blogspot.com/2006/07/sodhi-cabbage-cooked-in-coconut-milk.html. I have no idea what the "puris" is that she recommends serving with this dish.

 

(Forgive me, I don't know how to do that cool thing where you just put in a word like "this" and it magically links to the webpage you're referencing.) :confused:

Hit the reply button at the bottom of my post.

 

Now, you see the icons above the text box? There is one that looks

like a globe with a link of chain on it. Copy the website, highlight the word that you want to act as a link, hit the globe icon, a box will pop up, paste the website into that box. Voilà!

[Janie]

Thanks! This looks really interesting.......a must-try.

 

Btw, I think "puris" is plural for puri, fried, unleavened bread.
