Sauteed Napa Cabbage Recipes

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat and cook onion until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add napa cabbage, sprinkle with sugar, and mix well. Cook and stir over low heat, 3 to 5 minutes. Season with ginger, cumin, salt, and pepper and cook for 1 more minute.
• Pour sake and broth into the skillet with the cabbage and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes. Stir in balsamic vinegar and adjust seasoning to taste. Mix in parsley.

Steps:

• Cut the cabbage in half and, with the cut-side down, slice it as thinly as possible around the core, as though you were making coleslaw. Discard the core.
• Melt the butter in a large saute pan or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add the cabbage, salt, and pepper and saute for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender and begins to brown. Season, to taste, and serve warm.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Place medium-sized roasting pan on burner over medium-high heat, add the bacon and cook until crisp. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon to a plate lined with paper towels.
• Place cabbage in a roasting pan with rendered bacon fat, stir in the vinegar, honey and chicken stock and season with salt and pepper. Cover with foil and roast in the oven until wilted, about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and stir in the mint. Transfer to a platter and sprinkle with the cooked bacon.

Steps:

• In a sink filled with cold water, wash the cabbage, lifting it in and out of the water, and drain in a colander. Heat the oil in a saucepan until hot, add the butter and, as soon as it melts, add the wet cabbage. Cover and cook over medium-to-high heat, stirring occasionally, for 4 to 5 minutes, until the cabbage is wilted and tender but still slightly firm. The cabbage will sizzle initially but then will stew as the water emerges from it. Mix in the pepper and salt and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Slice off bottom inch of cabbage at stem end. Remove one layer of leaves and discard. Carefully remove remaining leaves until you get to smaller central ones. Reserve smaller leaves for another use. You should have about 12 large leaves.
• Place one leaf on work surface. Top with another leaf facing the opposite direction, that is, with cut end at leafy end. Dust with pinch of sea salt. Continue stacking leaves, alternating their direction, and dusting every second leaf with salt. Place stack four inches from end of a 16-inch sheet of foil. Lift end of foil over stack of leaves and tightly roll, wrapping the foil as you go. Be careful that foil is wrapped around only the outside of cabbage roll. Tightly tie roll with butcher's cord at 1 1/2- to 2-inch intervals. You should be able to make 6 ties. Use large knife to slice about 1/2 inch from ends of roll, so cut sides are smooth. Then slice roll in sections between cord. You should have 6 thick rounds of cabbage, each wrapped in foil and tied.
• Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in skillet large enough to hold rolls, a cut side down, in single layer. Cook rolls over medium-low heat until lightly browned on bottom and steam rises from center, 5 to 8 minutes. Turn rolls and cook on other side until lightly browned. Remove rolls to baking dish and place in oven.
• While cabbage is cooking, mix yuzu juice, soy sauce and grapeseed oil together and set aside.
• Place remaining olive oil in skillet. Add mushrooms and sauté over medium-high heat until softened and lightly browned. Remove from heat. If not serving dish immediately, place mushrooms in small baking dish in oven to keep warm.
• To serve, remove cabbage from oven and, keeping rolls standing on a cut side, transfer to serving dish or put each on a salad plate. Snip cords and carefully remove foil. Cabbage rolls should hold together neatly. Sprinkle cabbage rolls with bonito flakes. Toss mushrooms with yuzu mixture, place a few mushroom pieces on top of each cabbage roll and serve.

Steps:

• Place vinegar and 3-tablespoons oil into a saucepan. Season with sea salt and fine black pepper to taste. Bring to a boil, reduce to simmer for 3-4 minutes or until sauce thickens and hold sauce warm.
• Heat a large saute pan, add sesame seed oil, garlic and saute 1-2 minutes. Add corn, zucchini, cabbage, baby bok choy, thyme, cilantro and sauté 2-3 minutes. Add warm dressing and and toss. Reseason with salt and pepper to taste.
• Serve vegetables on warm plates.
• Garnish with Toasted White Sesame seeds.
