Cabbage recipes

Raw and crunchy, or cooked long and soft. 209 recipes on the site call for cabbage.

Slaws, stir-fries, soups, stuffed leaves, sauerkraut-style sides and braises. Raw cabbage stays crisp in a salad for a day or two, while long-cooked cabbage turns sweet; the recipes cover both, and the storage notes say how long each keeps.

The cuisines that use it most here are Chinese (36), American (31), Mexican (18) and Japanese (16). Of these, 69 are ready in 30 minutes or less, start to finish; the quickest are Bok Choy with Garlic (10 min), Hummus Veggie Wrap (10 min) and Lebanese Cabbage Salad (10 min). For 57, the method times a wait such as rising, chilling or marinating, and the time at the top of the recipe includes it. By difficulty: 144 easy, 61 medium and 4 hard.
