I’m sorry not to remember where this recipe came from, but it’s a delicious and pretty traditional use for that head of Napa cabbage.

Chinese (Napa) Cabbage Salad
Another recipe idea from the folks at Serenbe.
Cabbage and Apple Salad for Thanksgiving
This recipe came from Bon Appetit no telling how long ago. An easy, easy salad and a nice green addition to your Thanksgiving table.
Pasta with Spicy Cabbage
I wish I could tell you where this recipe came from – but it is amazing. I made it last weekend (with fresh pasta from a Slow Food class at Storico Fresco) and if I had to eat nothing but this dish for the next three months, I’d be very happy. The original recipe called for bacon. Fine. Add it. But it’s totally not necessary.
Asian Cabbage Salad
I’ve adapted this salad recipe from Paige Witherington, the farm manager for Serenbe. Always love a cabbage salad that features a vinaigrette instead of a mayo-based dressing. This one has so many wonderful flavors and textures. This recipe will be great with the Napa cabbage we hope to see in our boxes sometimes this year as well.
Asian Slaw Dressing from Aria in Buckhead
Chipotle Cole Slaw from Salt Factory in Roswell
Now about that cabbage. I have two wonderful cole slaw dressings you have to try.
Stir-fry Sauce
One of the things I do to make a quick stir-fry even quicker is to keep a jar of stir-fry sauce in the refrigerator. You could buy a jar, but why? When you’re ready for dinner, heat up some vegetable oil, sauté your vegetables (this week you could use bok choy, beet greens, thinly sliced beets, onions, garlic and/or squash) and when it’s just about done, add just enough of this sauce to coat everything lightly. The cornstarch will thicken quickly and your stir-fry is done. I love that I don’t have to haul out the ginger and the garlic and the soy sauce and whatever every time I want to make a quick meal. This sauce will keep in the refrigerator for 2 weeks. Vary the proportions to suit the taste of your household.
Buttermilk Coleslaw with Green Onions and Cilantro
Last idea for today is a cole slaw recipe for your cabbage and cilantro. It’s from the folks at the PBS show, “America’s Test Kitchen”.
Braised Cabbage
It’s great to see cabbage making its appearance in the box again after the long summer hiatus. Here’s a recipe for braised cabbage with Indian spices. It comes from the New York Times, published last January.
