We LOVE cabbage!
A quick, easy, and not so healthy one is fried cabbage...you can use cut up bacon or (my favorite) hog jowls sliced up and fried, then put the cabbage in with it, season to taste and put the lid on and it steams it a little bit. You can also add onions and potatoes to it. DH couldn't believe the kids loved it!
I always add cabbage to stir fry, soups and anything like that!
It is good fried up with sliced polish sausage, onions and potatoes.
If you do like a lo mein with whatever kind of meat you like (or shrimp) cut into bite sized pieces, some veggies either from a bag of mix or sliced onions, bell peppers, garlic, etc, and lots of garlic. I will also use tofu cut into cubes, rather than meat, sometimes. If you have access to sesame oil, add that to your cooking oil, and it will give it an amazing flavor! I use my regular cooking oil, add about a tablespoon of sesame oil, and about 2 tablespoons soy sauce to cook with. For the noodles, you can either use cooked spaghetti noodles and toss them in right before serving with a little more sesame oil and soy tossed in, OR...throw in some cooked rice and make fried rice. If you do the fried rice, pour in the raw, semi-scrambled egg and cook it before you put the rice in.
DELICIOUS!
The crumbled sausage, onions and cabbage are wonderful!
For a side dish, I cook cabbage with bacon and a touch of brown sugar for a very light glaze. The kids eat it up!
An easy Southern slaw recipe is to shred the cabbage with a cheese grater, toss in mayo or Miracle Whip to taste (I don't use a lot, I don't care for the creamy slaw) about a handful of sugar (if you are using a med-lg size head) and about 1/2 to 3/4 cup white vinegar. Toss well and chill. Add cracked pepper to taste.
There are so many things to do with cabbage! LOL! The brats are always good, too!
