Pickled cabbage is easy and good.
Shredded cabbage on tacos
Pozole with shredded cabbage. Pozole is crazy easy. Veg broth, soaked blended chiles (guajillo and ancho, arbol optional if you want spicy), can of hominy, can of beans. That’s the base, then add whatever veggies you like. Fresh cabbage, cilantro, fresh chiles, sliced radish, onion, green onion. Amazing for winter
Add it to soups, either cooked or raw
cabbage soup, cabbage rolls, cabbage salad (e.g. coleslaw), sauteed cabbage, steamed cabbage, roasted cabbage, cabbage frittata, pickled cabbage, fermented cabbage, or cabbage and peanut sauce
I read this the way the dude in forest gump listed off all the different shrimp dishes you could make
Yeah there’s a million ways to use a cabbage
Take a picture of it once a day until Liz Truss stops being Prime Minister
A stir fry! Maybe some fired rice?
“fired” cabbage
I mean what cant you do with a cabbage
I’d make some coleslaw
Eat it
wear it as a hat
Buy more. Buy a cart. Move them in cart. Become cabbage man. Have the cart toppled by a young rascal with arrows tattooed on his body
Cabbage rolls!
Or if you want something with less prep, cabbage roll soup! Had some earlier this week, it’s delicious
Slice it into fine strips, then stirfry veggies and or meat of choice with oil until almost done, add the cabbage strips until done to your liking, add a sauce of choice (try 1/4 cup each soy sauce and chili garlic sauce like Sambal with some sugar to taste, and a slurry of cornstarch to thicken)
The cabbage makes a good replacement for rice or noodles this way, or can contrast the texture nicely
Cabbage is one of the few leafy vegetales you can cook for a length of time. That means it survives soups and can go in somewhat early on a stir-fry.
If you use it in a salad, consider very thin slices.
Use it raw in whole leaf form to make “lettuce” wraps
Shred it and saute it with garlic and soy sauce. It’s a great late night snack
What kinda cabbage? You’re getting a lot of good options here and if you wanna pick some I can give a recipe for about any that is vegan and rules. I know my way around a cabbage. Highly recommend pickling some, this isn’t aa scary as you may think, just pop it in a sealed thing with some vinegar, maybe grate a bit of carrot in their too, big long grates, white vinegar or apple cider is probably best, if you’re looking at about a lite of vinegar to soak I’d add a tablespoon of salt, a bit over a tea spoon of white sugar (brown might actually be nice, haven’t tried, actually, note to self, molasses pickles) a tiny tiny smidgen of Dijon if you have it, maybe a bit of oregano and parsely too a squirt of lemon juice can be nice too. Use what you’ve got. You can also make it like a quarter to a third water to vinegar ratio for a lighter pickling. If you are doing it this way you have to keep it refrigerated tho. Non fridge pickling requires different vinegar than normal. If you wanna change your mind about coleslaw I have a red whine vinaigrette red cabbage (usually) slaw thst rips hard
green cabbage! cabbage rolls sounds like a good way to expand my shitty culinary skills so any recommendations on a tasty vegan filling for that? pickling would be cool i think, i just lack appropriate vessels which sucks.
Rice and a core of seitan sausage works good, any store bought vegan sausage is basically that. Making seitan itself is it’s own thing. Top that with a thicc and spicy marina. Dumplings stuffed with a cabbage, carrots, mush onion and garlic stir fry also kick all kinds of ass. Dumpling wraps are pretty easy to come by, you basically do the first stage of rolling a blunt with it and then sorta scoop everyone lore to the center and roll roll/fold it inward in a a pierogi kinda shape for easy mode. Then fry that. Red cabbage is my money cabbage but the taste difference is honestly negligible, presentation has been a big part of my job for a while and they look prettier but they’ve also just got more oomph. There’s more cabbage taste on em.
Oh shit oh fuck, if you really wanna cabbage. Make some KRAUT
Easiest thing to do is cut it into slices and roast it in the oven with some oil and spices on it.
Second easiest is coleslaw, if you love using a knife or have a food processor. I go for the acidic and slightly sweet coleslaws.
