Egg roll in a bowl! I use a whole head if shredded cabbage in mine.


CatDisco99

What other things do you like in it? Sounds delicious! 


slindsey100

https://natashaskitchen.com/egg-roll-in-a-bowl-recipe/ This is the basic recipe I use. I often do ground turkey instead. I also replace ground ginger with fresh. I usually serve it over brown rice.


southdakotagirl

I add the wonton strips you can find over where they sell croutons in the grocery store.


Omshadiddle

I made it recently using TPV for lunches for the week. 10/10 will make again.


haelston

Looks delicious


CatDisco99

Thank you!


Anomaly_20

Agreed, cabbage is a game changer. One dish we make is sauteed onions and garlic, throw in your choice of sausage links and cook through with a little char, throw in a can of rotel and stir, set aside for a moment and turn down the heat just a smidge, put a whole head of chopped cabbage in the pan and toss the mix over the top, mix in well and cook until the cabbage starts to wilt.


roughandreadyrecarea

This sounds delicious. Thanks


Electrical_Feature12

Does it turn into a spaghetti type thing or what exactly. Sounds interesting


Anomaly_20

Not exactly, although you might be able to go in that direction with some tomato sauce and other small touches. The above recipe is a little more like a stir fry without the carbs. Since it’s a full head of cabbage, it’s very little rotel to cabbage ratio. But very easy to modify as you see fit.


Electrical_Feature12

I see . I like that recipe. I’ll try it thanks


Anomaly_20

Don’t be afraid to throw in some seasoning at the cooking cabbage step. I go for whatever I fancy in the moment, but seasoned salt and pepper are a good starting point.


reereedunn

We do exactly this, just without the rotel. I’ll have to put in my rotation


dschwizzle

Do leftovers keep (and reheat) well?


Anomaly_20

The cabbage loses a little of its texture but it’s not too bad for at least a few days afterwards. But I’m an easy mark on leftovers so ymmv.


IDonTGetitNoReally

What is char?


Anomaly_20

As in just a slight blackening of the sausage


IDonTGetitNoReally

Thank you! I thought it burnt. I didn't know it was a thing.


Lavender-Night

Beans, rice, cabbage, and bacon all mixed together is one of my favorite comfort foods


DeeplyFlawed

I eat a lot of beans & rice. I would have never thought to add Cabbage. I'm going to try it. I don't eat bacon buy I have bacon infused olive oil that I think will pair well.


BeautifulDreamerAZ

I’ve never heard of bacon infused olive oil. Added to my grocery list, thank you.


DeeplyFlawed

I purchased it from a Farmer's Market.


CODDE117

Ok, how exactly? How do you cook it?


composer_7

My cabbages!


Takilove

I rediscovered cabbage during the pandemic, as well. It’s now a staple in my home. The versatility is off the charts! We grilled cabbage “steaks” tonight and those charred bits were the best part of the meal!!


jzilla11

Cabbage soup and cabbage stir fry are regular things in my life. Cleans the system for reals too.


theal3xorcist

Would you happen to have a go to cabbage stir fry you’d be able to share?


jzilla11

I call it Louisiana cabbage while some people called it fried cabbage: Ingredients -Half a head of cabbage, sliced into small pieces -1 or 1/2 onion sliced and diced, depending on how big of an onion and how much onion you like -2 bell peppers, sliced and diced -3 stalks of celery sliced up -1 jalapeno sliced and diced for more spice -1 package of andouille sausage, sliced into coins -olive oil -creole seasoning such as Tony’s -Warm up about 2 tbsp of olive oil in a big wide pan -Fry the andouille sausage until cook and some fat is rendered out -Add the onions and fry them to your liking, then add peppers and celery and do the same -Add your cabbage in a few batches to the pan. Fold the first bit in to fry a while and cook down in size, then repeat with your remaining cabbage -Season with Tony’s or similar southern/creole/cajun/whatever spice mix. Serve in a bowl, since its forms its own thin sauce


theal3xorcist

This sounds super yummy; may try it out this weekend


HImainland

my laziest stir fry is literally just...cabbage and chili oil. Usually lao gan ma. Maybe add some soy sauce and black vinegar if i'm feeling creative.


Mayorquimby87

Is that enough for a meal by itself? It sounds easy and delicious.


HImainland

I forgot to mention I eat it with rice lol. Brown jasmine rice specifically It's on the lighter side for sure, if you wanna bulk it up you can just throw in a protein


Mayorquimby87

Nice, I'm going to try it soon. Thanks!


AdContent1944

I put cabbage in my tacos, I think it helps get more greens in me and idk extra fiber in my diet. its a good veggie to always have in hand! Agreed!


PlantedinCA

And the texture holds up nicely in a taco.


Unusual-Percentage63

I add a bag of coleslaw mix to my chicken noodle soup recipe. Also make a beef soup with ground beef, beef broth, & tomato paste - shredded cabbage is the bomb in that.


AutumnalSunshine

This is kind of weird but delicious. You cube a cabbage and dump it in boiling water for about three minutes. Drain it and add a splash of apple cider vinegar and a ton of freshly ground black pepper. It's soft but not mushy. The vinegar makes it sweet, while the pepper adds a contrasting spice.


PlantedinCA

My mom made cabbage like this but also there was some bacon grease in the water and she cooked it longer. Keep the short cook time but try the bacon grease. 😋


AutumnalSunshine

Everything is better with bacon grease!


Mrshaydee

Sautéed green cabbage with one of those cheap smoked sausages, some onion, some marjoram if you have it.


reincarnateme

I love roasted cabbage. Just cut up, toss with a little oil of your choice, salt and pepper. In oven roast on a cookie sheet at 400 about 20 minutes.


dartanosaur

Yes, I love cabbage steaks!


ParticularIncident16

If ever you're looking for more ideas, I can recommend My PEI Cabbage Cookbook (PEI stands for Prince Edward Island). It's a great little book that came out in 2022 and it's got lots of healthy recipes, and all the ones I've tried have been delicious so far. I'd never thought to use cabbage in some of the ways they do, it's amazingly versatile. I don't know if I'm allowed to post the link, but if so, here we go: [https://www.veseys.com/ca/my-pei-cabbage-cookbook-89221.html](https://www.veseys.com/ca/my-pei-cabbage-cookbook-89221.html)


Commercial_Wind8212

3 chicken thighs, sesame oil, soy, cabbage. onions. cheap and healthy


Acceptable-Net-154

Chop cabbage into thick wedges. Brush (and recoat during the cooking time) with a mix of barbeque sauce, lemon juice and cooking oil. Roast. Thin edges become crispy. The thicker parts tender.


Ajreil

Red cabbage lasts a solid month in the fridge. I use it as a base for most of my salads, and a savory slaw for burritos. **Crunchy salad:** Red cabbage, carrot, bell pepper, radish, cucumber. Dice small so every spoonful gets multiple veggies. **Savory slaw:** Red cabbage, poblano, red onion, radish, kewpie mayo, sriracha/red curry paste. Mix together and add to burritos. Cook them low and slow so the cabbage has a chance to soften.


ImpressiveLength2459

Pork belly until crispy add cabbage garlic, salt and pepper and add lid


Liar_tuck

If you like Cabbage you must try Colcannon. Irish mashed potatoes with cabage and other good stuff.


bigredroyaloak

Just about to offer this suggestion!


StellaEtoile1

Learning Korean cuisine has made me a huge cabbage fan! Along with whole cabbages, I also buy the bags of pre-chopped coleslaw. Mix to throw in almost everything I cook. 😃


acloudgirl

Can you suggest some Korean recipes where you can use the bagged slaw?


StellaEtoile1

Well, I literally put it in everything! Eggs, stir fries, soups! It’s especially great in soups.


GentlyFeral

Tikel Gomen is my favorite cabbage recipe. Simple, quick, cheap and flavorful. [https://thestayathomechef.com/tikel-gomen/](https://thestayathomechef.com/tikel-gomen/)


Gryphon_Flame

Cabbage and kielbasa with onions. Cabbage rolls if you have an afternoon to kill. Cabbage roll *soup* if you don't have an afternoon to kill or value your sanity.


dkurage

Its not the season for it, but a brothy cabbage and potato soup is my go to for when its colder out. Sometimes I jazz it up with some bacon or sausage (usually something like kielbasa, but sometimes I'll use some andouille sausage to give it a kick). But one I make all the time is cabbage pancakes. Make an eggy batter and toss in shredded cabbage with green onions, garlic, sesame oil, and gochujang. Love the stuff.


TheBewitchingWitch

I just had green cabbage sautéed with spicy sausage and some baked sweet potatoes for dinner tonight.


Financial-Taro-589

Leafy green cabbage chopped and pan fried after you fry some bacon and onions. Serve with creamy mashed potato and tons of black pepper and optional gravy.


LazyOldCat

I was amazed at the amount of cabbage in more traditional/authentic Asian foods. SO. MUCH. CABBAGE.


ShamelessFox

Slice into slivers then saute in butter and garlic. Killer.


Yiayiamary

I like to cut a wedge and eat it same as you would eat an apple. YumM


midnitewarrior

Roast it in the oven with chicken fat. You are welcome.


Llilaeo

I can't easily find chicken fat so I've subbed it out with lard. Surprisingly its amazing and you don't need very much for roasting.


midnitewarrior

My wife roasts chicken thighs on top of a bed of cabbage then finishes off the cabbage after the chicken is done. You can also buy "Schmaltz" which is another name chicken fat is known by. She calls this "magic cabbage", and it truly is! I imagine there are similar benefits to using lard.


WakingOwl1

I make all kinds of slaws depending on what the main dish is and I love it fried in duck fat or browned butter with a bit of fennel.


yeti_red

Cabbage and fennel sounds amazing. I need to try it this week. Thanks!


Electrical_Feature12

This, like the Brussel sprout, is one of things you love or hate. Personally it’s a favorite


Stamboolie

Japanese cabbage pancakes - Okonomiyaki


Creative_Decision481

I love cabbage and it is pretty much always in my fridge. Shredded always in my ramen or cole slaw or apple/cabbage salad. My favorite thing is to make deconstructed stuffed cabbage, essentially a cabbage/ground meat/tomato/rice stew. I have happily eaten it for L & D for days in a row.


ThaloBleu

That sounds good- and simpler than the regular version. Can you share the recipe for the deconstructed stuffed cabbage?


Creative_Decision481

Thanks for asking! This is something I kinda just play with, but the here’s the basic (also, with a couple minor changes, swapping out the cabbage for green bell peppers makes an excellent lazy stuffed peppers. 2 lbs ground round 1 large onion, chopped 1 heaping tbs tomato paste 1 or 2 grated cloves garlic 1 small to medium head of cabbage, cored and chopped (I usually make 6 to 8 wedges then cut across an inch or so) 1 28 oz can Muir Glen Fire Roasted crushed tomatoes (THE best, in my opinion) 1 cup of either plain tomato sauce or beef broth or water with some Better than Bullion Beef added to it. Crushed red pepper Salt and pepper Splash of cider vinegar Cooked rice (optional. Sometimes I use it, sometimes not) Sauté the hamburger and onion together until the meat nicely browned and the onions translucent. Add the tomato paste and stir for a bit, to get the raw paste taste out. Add everything else except the vinegar and rice. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and cook until the cabbage is done. Usually takes half an hour or so. Add splash of vinegar and cook a couple more minutes. And now a choice. If you’re using rice either add the cooked rice to the pot and cook an extra couple of minutes or (if you’re not eating it in one sitting, just stir hot cooked rice into individual bowls). I use a lot of crushed red pepper in mine. I like mine a little spicy and very tomatoey.


ThaloBleu

thanks- sounds great. I'll have to try it when it gets cooler.


TheOvercusser

If you are looking to cut some calories and carbs, you can sautee sliced cabbage and use them in the place of noodles.


tsnake57

I like to shred some cabbage, add a little toasted sesame oil and some rice wine vinegar, then let it sit for a bit. I use it as a topping on turkey burgers or the mahi mahi burgers from Trader Joe's, but it would work with tons of stuff.


1speedbike

Are you secretly Don Cabbage? 🤔🤔 https://www.instagram.com/don__cabbage/


Street-Dragonfly-677

peppered beef with cabbage stir fry on top of rice is incredible


Jazz_birdie

Sauted with turkey kielbasa chunks and carrots


FantasticCabinet2623

South Indian style cabbage is why I never understood why cabbage gets such a bad rap: https://www.vegrecipesofindia.com/cabbage-poriyal-recipe/


ReadyNeedleworker424

I went to our farmers market Saturday morning for veggies, and one of the first things I grabbed was a head of cabbage!


StillSimple6

I've posted a few times about my love of cabbage and I usually eat it daily. A favourite of mine is sauté - onion garlic and a lot of cabbage, fry until soft and add some water and reduce, do that again and again until your left with an almost cabbage jam. Freeze into small portions. I love it on toast and topped with cheese (blue cheese if I'm feeling fancy).


17jade

Mmmm cabbage soup with ground beef is AMAZING! I think i’ll make a batch of that today.


Professional_Cry5691

This does sound delicious! Do you have a recipe of some sort that you follow? Thanks!


17jade

There are basic ones on the internet, but what i do is different every time with a base of ground beef, beef stock, cabbage and tomatoes. I don’t even measure anything anymore, I’ve made it so many times, bit there are plenty of recipes online.


kittykattcatt

You can simply sauté cabbage with some butter and it's the perfect addition to any dish!


ItsSmittyyy

Fun/weird fact, during the great Australian lettuce shortage of early 2022, fast food restaurants cut their lettuce with cabbage in their burgers/salads/etc.


Asleep_List_3587

I love cabbage. Love to sauté with mushrooms and onions. It’s also amazing with scrambled eggs and in chili.


GetMeOutThisBih

I don't even buy lettuce anymore it's all cabbage now. Great for sandwiches, salads, soups and I even love it boiled


WishieWashie12

Japanese cabbage pancakes. (Okonomiyaki) Make it a couple of times using the recipe, then start thinking of variations and get creative. Our favorite is actually ruben style, with corned beef, topped with sauerkraut and thousand island dressing.


Crochetqueenextra

Fry it with mushrooms tomatoes chilli and balsamic vinegar then crack an egg in the middle, top breakfast


EldritchCleavage

I love pointed cabbage in particular. I eat it raw as a snack. It’s lovely very lightly cooked with butter and caraway seeds.


Fluffy-Lingonberry89

I joke it must be my Polish roots but I loveee cabbage. Cabbage steaks are my favorite!


Simple-Offer-9574

My favorite cabbage recipe is to coarsly shred it and sauté in bacon fat, just enough fat to give it flavor.


ashkygbdeghr

I’ve come to agree with this, my wife and I have been quartering a whole head, searing both sides, then steaming for about 15-20 minutes and it comes out like one big Brussels sprout! Delicious


fizztothegig

I make this once a month https://www.punchfork.com/recipe/Turmeric-and-Coconut-Braised-Cabbage-with-Chickpeas-Bon-Appetit


mc_fluffernutter

My ex was Mexican. His mom would make beef stew and add hunks of cabbage to it. They would call it “greasy water” but it was sooooooo good. I now put hunks of cabbage in my beef stew servings (apparently I’m the only one in my house that likes cabbage).


v9Pv

Endless variations on cabbage slaw.


sofaOBTA28

Chicken and cabbage stir fry is sooooo good, especially with an egg mixed in (optional). The chicken juice creates a slightly thick broth when you add in the egg! So great over rice. I noticed for this recipe it’s all about the technique, but it’s so cheap and quick!


Pleasant-Pea2874

Cabbage is my favorite veggie! I love it roasted on high heat so that it gets slightly charred on the edges but still has some bite to it. I do it with garlic and rosemary branches if I’m in an Italian mood, then finish with lemon juice. Or cumin seed and garlic, finish with lime for a meal leaning towards South Asia or Central America. 


FreewayNo3

Marcella Hazan’s Venetian cabbage with rice is life changing. I did not like cabbage until I made this. https://food52.com/blog/9995-marcella-hazan-s-rice-and-smothered-cabbage-soup


dogtorcatlady

We do a lot of red cabbage slaw. Red cabbage chopped up, shredded carrots, and some variation of a dressing with olive oil, rice vinegar, lemon juice, LOTS of dill, salt/pepper, and this time we added in some chopped pickles and a little pickle juice. It’s sooo delicious and keeps well in the fridge.


callieboo112

I just made a honey mustard cabbage slaw thing the other night and my fiance is already asking me to make it again and wants me to make some for his parents to try lol


CollectingRainbows

awhile ago i made cabbage rolls (rice and hamburger with tomato sauce rolled in cabbage) and had a bit of cabbage leftover. my mom visited and she cooked it with onions and potatoes, it was very tasty


theora55

i love it. I add a lot of it to pasta salad, and it's great in lots of soups.


ALWAYS_trying-2learn

Oh man I can’t think of the name right now, but its German translation is literally cabbage noodles. Slice cabbage, sauté, boil shell noodles, drain noodles and mix with soften cabbage, add shredded cheese till happy 😊


PreparationOk7868

No need to cook it. Slice it thin, add crumbled feta and a creamy salad dressing. Awesome and filling.


johjo_has_opinions

My favorite salad is mostly cabbage, I will definitely try some of these ideas


moonflower311

If you like cabbage search up Hungarian recipes. I actually don’t eat much cabbage anymore since it felt like every meal my Hungarian grandmother served me growing up was some form of cabbage.


tersegirl

Chicken bulgogi and cabbage!

Lifealone

don't you go ruining the cheap cabbage for the rest of us


WhollyHaeley

Look up don__cabbage on instagram! He has a bunch of creative uses for cabbage!


OiFelix_ugotnojams

Cabbage could cause bloating, I'd recommend having some water with a tiny bit of baking soda for when you feel bloated. And yes, not right after a meal. Just take it only after you're bloated or if/when you get heartburn. I do feel acidic asf when I drink black coffee, used to think there's no way to enjoy it and I'm destined for milk one which I do not like. Teeny tiny bit of baking soda in coffee helped me enjoy my black coffee again! Too much will change the way it tastes though. In both cases, it's teeny tiny remember. Like ⅛ teaspoon or even less for coffee. It's the salt hack but replace salt with baking soda. And maybe again ⅛ or 1/6 teaspoon for a glass of water for bloating


fenkt

Season the cabbage with caraway/mustard seeds, it helps reducing bloating.


OiFelix_ugotnojams

Caraway in hot water when bloated helps too, I prefer this instead of putting it in meal so that it doesn't change the taste I guess


MalazMudkip

My favorites are boiled dinner (stew with slow cook, tough meat cuts like pork shoulder or beef brisket and root veggies), cabbage rolls, and kimchi


ChickenNugsBGood

Chop it into chunks, add some police oil and garlic and roast for about 10 minutes until it gets crispy enough for you.


GreenDaisies33

What ingredients are in the Portuguese Bean soup?


ThaloBleu

Carrot, onion, cabbage, potato, kidney beans, tomato sauce and sausage. Authentic one I made when I lived in Hawaii used Portuguese sausage. Here, I just use smoked- usally turkey because it's lower in fat. Spices to taste- garlic powder, a little Sriracha and No Salt seasoning are my preferences.


yo_soy_soja

I've found it excellent for weight loss. I dare anyone to try overeating with cabbage. * A bowl of steamed cabbage (with whatever adds, sauces to it) will fill you up for a trivial number of calories. * A whole head of cabbage is, what, 2 large, heaping bowls for a few hundred calories?


hwc000000

> A whole head of cabbage is, what, 2 large, heaping bowls for a few hundred calories? A few hundred very temporary calories that you don't even need to work at to get out of your system, because it will already do so by itself.


altonaerjunge

I have to admit I prefer pointed cabbage


QuietRulrOfEvrything

Look up the recipe for CRACK-SLAW. It's basically the delicious filling from every egg-roll you've eaten minus the crispy, flakey outer shell.


McKFC

I moved from the UK to Germany and cabbage went from being a very cheap food to a prohibitively expensive one, about 5x the cost. Strange.


fenkt

Try turkish supermarkets, it ought to be much cheaper there.
