Recipe Notes

Many of you have tried Napa or Chinese cabbage as part of the CSA. You will know then that it is a sweet, crunchy and versatile veggie that can be used to make many fresh-tasting winter dishes. Use Napa cabbage in place of green cabbage in any dish. It makes a great salad or slaw, wonderful stir-fry, cabbage rolls or soup. It will last in your fridge for many weeks in a plastic bag or container.
