Im looking for a good Chinese cabbage recipe. It could be a stir fry or in a soup or im actually open to anything. Ive checked with google for recipes but i would prefer a tried and true one from one of our members here. So if anyone has a good one that they use all the time, please please pass it on to me. I would really appreciate it.
What kind? There are two types, each with various sub-types. In one type, the leaves form tight heads; e.g. napa. In the other, the leaf blades are clustered but easy to separate; e.g. bok choy. The two categories are pretty interchangeable when used in soups, stir fries, etc. Although both types can be eaten uncooked, the napa type is leafier, so generally better suited to use e.g. shredded as a salad green, in Asian slaws, etc.
We make these a few times a year. http://withinthekitchen.blogspot.com...egg-rolls.html
We usually deep fry them though. Only calls for 1 cup of shredded cabbage per 10 egg rolls, but we double the recipe and eat them for a few meals.
Its the long one that the leaves separate easily. The recipe that i really liked on google was like a stir fry with bell peppers and shredded carrots. Looks really good.Quote:

You can also steam or microwave instead of frying, and if you use baby bok choy, you can omit cutting it up.
how about vietnamese cabbage recipes? :) i like to use taiwanese cabbage, there's chicken or duck salad that could be a side dish or main course (google "goi ga" for chicken or "goi vit" for duck). I personally love duck.
Another very simple cabbage dish that my mom likes to do:
- 1 or 2 stalks of green onion (depending on how much you like it): washed then cut into 2-3 inches long, separate the white from the green, split the white parts in halves lengthwise
- wash then julienne cabbage
- heat a pan on the stove medium high
- add about 1 tbsp of oil and drop the white parts of the green onion, stir fry until light golden
- add the cabbage and a sprinkle of salt to taste
- add a bit of water if the pan gets too hot and dry, you want to almost braise the cabbage
- cook the cabbage until they have wilted or translucent
taiwanese cabbage is the best for this because of its natural sweetness
serve as a side dish
you can also add fried eggs
thanks for all these ideas. So tomorrow im going to make a put together recipe using Chinese cabbage. Im going to shred the cabbage, and some carrots and peppers, add some garlic and salt to taste and stir fry in some olive oil. Will use this as a side dish. This is the first time im using this vegetable so i hope it turns out ok.
The hoisin beef noodle dish has Chinese cabbage. I made this a few weeks ago and liked it.

Quite literally, I came across a Napa Cabbage salad that uses instant ramen packets and noodles as part of the dressing and salad.
