Shredded Cabbage Recipes

Steps:

• Heat a 14-inch skillet over medium-high heat, and then add the oil and onion. Saute to soften the onion slightly, about 2 minutes. Stir in the tomato, ginger if using, and red-pepper flakes. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.
• Add the cabbage and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. Stir to combine. Cover, and reduce the heat to medium low. Cook, stirring occasionally as the cabbage begins to collapse. Add a little water, 2 tablespoons at a time, as needed if the cabbage becomes too dry. (This depends on the moisture level of the cabbage. You don't want it too wet.) Cook for approximately 13 minutes, or until the cabbage is just tender. Salt to taste and serve.

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:

• Whisk the dressing ingredients together and toss into the shredded cabbage. Keep in the fridge (see tip below) until ready to serve alongside tonkatsu or other Japanese dishes.

Steps:

• Heat (14-inch) skillet over medium-high heat, and then add oil and onion,
• Sauté to soften onion slightly, about 2 minutes. Stir tomato, ginger, if using, and red pepper flakes. Cook for an additional 2 minutes. Add cabbage and salt. Stir to combine.
• Cover, reduce heat to medium low and cook, stirring occasionally, as the cabbage begins to collapse.
• Add a little water (2 Tbsp.) at a time, as needed if the cabbage becomes too dry.
• Cook for about 13 minutes or until the cabbage is just tender. Season with salt to taste and serve.

Steps:

• Melt the butter and add croutons. Add the mustard and caraway seeds and stir over medium heat until the butter browns and smells nutty. Remove from heat.
• Place the cabbage in water and cook for 2 minutes, exactly. I prefer to steam the cabbage instead of boiling it.
• Add the cabbage to the butter crumb dressing and toss to coat thoroughly. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Combine the cabbage, radishes, scallions, vinegar, salt, and sugar in a sealable plastic bag and mix well. Expel as much air as possible and seal the bag. Allow the vegetables to marinate for at least 30 minutes, and up to overnight.
• Using tongs or two forks, remove the vegetables from the marinating liquid (allow excess vinegar to drain off) and place in a mixing bowl. Discard the remaining vinegar mixture.
• Before serving, add the olive oil, cilantro, and black pepper and toss well. Check for seasoning and adjust if necessary.
• Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with a fresh sprig of cilantro.
• TECHNIQUES
• Shredding Cabbage
• The slicing side of a box grater works really well for this. However, if you don't have one, you can shred the cabbage with your knife by cutting the cabbage in half, removing its core, and then slicing the cabbage very thinly.
• Marinating the Vegetables
• I find marinating vegetables in a sealed plastic bag that has had all of its air expelled is an efficient way of making sure all the vegetables have been exposed to the marinade. (It is also compact enough to fit easily in your refrigerator.) If you don't have a plastic bag, use whatever container you have on hand. In that case, just make sure to stir the vegetables often.
• ADVANCE PREPARATION
• The vegetables can marinate overnight and will benefit from the extra time. However, in order for the cilantro to stay fresh, toss it with the olive oil no sooner than 1 hour before serving.

Steps:

• Remove stalk from cabbage and with a large knife cut leaves into long thin strips.
• Mix sugar, soy sause and vinegar in a cup and stir till sugar dissolved.
• Heat oil in a large frying pan or wok and when very hot add the dry shredded cabbage. Stir fry briskly for 2-3 minutes till the cabbage just turns soft.
• Add the sause and mix for a further 30 seconds.
• Sprinkle with a little sesame oil and serve immediately.
