This quick and easy stir-fry cabbage recipe pairs well with roasted chicken or pork, or serve it over rice with a poached egg as a vegetarian main dish. Sweet green cabbage is easy to find and works well here, but savoy cabbage or napa cabbage will work well too. For a slightly different flavor, use peanut oil in place of sesame oil.

This recipe draws inspiration from huli huli chicken, a Hawaiian dish featuring grilled chicken that’s turned frequently while it’s cooking (“huli” is the Hawaiian word for “turn”) and basted with a sweet and savory sauce. In this vegetarian version, we replace the chicken with cabbage wedges, and while the cabbage is turned only once, the sauce remains similar to its roots.
Cabbage Caesar Salad

In this Caesar salad, we skip the usual romaine lettuce and opt for napa cabbage, a delightfully tender cabbage variety that maintains a crisp and mild sweetness even when eaten raw. The dressing takes a shortcut, using store-bought mayonnaise instead of fresh egg yolks, and gets a savory kick from anchovy paste. Feel free to switch it up by using chopped anchovy fillets, or omit it entirely for a vegetarian-friendly salad according to your preference.
Creamy Caramelized Cabbage Pasta

In this comforting vegetarian dinner, cabbage is sautéed in butter until it caramelizes, imparting a subtle sweetness to the dish. A light, creamy sauce coats both the cabbage and the pasta. If you want to stretch the sauce a little further, you can thin it out by adding in a few tablespoons of pasta cooking water.
Chicken & Cabbage Salad with Nuoc Cham Dressing
![Thai-Style Chicken Salad](https://www.eatingwell.com/thmb/qKpFYJleg1H9lc1uAUi0J49Mn10=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/Thai-Style-Chicken-Salad-3x2-148-2000-948709cfb66d4dc7b7929b953fc11ebe.jpg)
Best known as a Vietnamese dipping sauce, nước chấm typically combines sugar, lime juice and fish sauce, striking the perfect balance between sweet, sour and salty. Here it ties together crunchy vegetables, tons of fresh herbs and cooked chicken breast for a refreshing chicken salad. Serve combined with glass noodles or inside a lettuce leaf. For a slightly different take, swap out the cooked chicken for thin slices of grilled steak.
Chicken & Cabbage Bowls with Sesame Dressing
![a recipe photo of the Chicken & Cabbage Bowls with Sesame Dressing](https://www.eatingwell.com/thmb/REFWMhbJImduxI3Tp4nDR53JjtY=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/chicken-and-cabbage-bowls-with-sesame-dressing-3x2-12529-07d1da38141043919d727f77195e2aaa.jpg)

Four convenience products are all you need to prepare these tasty bowls. A bag of shredded coleslaw serves as the base that’s topped with seasoned chicken strips, crunchy flavored almonds and a drizzle of sesame dressing. Leftover chicken can easily stand in for the chicken strips. Traditional cabbage coleslaw works well, as does broccoli slaw for a slightly different look and flavor.
Quick & Easy Balsamic Cabbage
![a recipe photo of the Quick and Easy Balsamic Cabbage](https://www.eatingwell.com/thmb/Ak5mBgcl3fwygyOCFEOReSJgiXs=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/Quick-and-Easy-Balsamic-Cabbage-BG-Beauty-3x2-3955-2000-294b34e01fbe4d5d9e8ce95981382a5d.jpg)
This quick and easy balsamic cabbage is a savory side with just a hint of sweetness from balsamic vinegar. It pairs well with roasted pork, chicken or steak. Savoy cabbage or napa cabbage can stand in for the green cabbage. Swap the green cabbage for purple cabbage and try white balsamic vinegar for a colorful twist.
Charred Cabbage Steaks with Pesto & Burrata
![a recipe photo of the Charred cabbage steaks with pesto & burrata](https://www.eatingwell.com/thmb/RKZ0WBUvkeNUcNO4L72c8iv962c=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/EW-charred-cabbage-steaks-with-pesto-and-burrata-3246-24483ff5a13343c591e65c9199ec54d6.jpg)
These tender grilled cabbage steaks are topped with store-bought pesto and creamy burrata cheese. The slices closest to the center of each head hold together best with the core keeping them intact. Chop up the leftover outside edges of each head to roast alongside the cabbage steaks, or thinly slice them for a simple cabbage salad.
Cabbage & White Bean Soup
![a recipe photo of the Cabbage & White Bean Soup served in a bowl](https://www.eatingwell.com/thmb/oTASStjDlPOTQWErI_4jO8SCWY8=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/Zuppa-Rustica-0095-93cf12bcedb6426f84f674c2a77aeb31.jpg)
This cabbage and white bean soup is easy and flavorful. Avoid browning the leeks and garlic, as it can make the soup bitter. If you want to make this soup vegan, use vegan-friendly pesto and omit the Parmesan rind.
Bang Bang Cabbage SlawBang Bang Cabbage Slaw
![Bang bang cabbage slaw recipe in a blue serving bowl with wooden serving spoons](https://www.eatingwell.com/thmb/hAYlCKD0HfYWZAGUSy834l4X6Ho=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/bang-bang-cabbage-slaw-8060943-3x2-4b5dd66230c245d59290f2de044f4ce6.jpg)

Here we pair Bang Bang sauce, a sweet and spicy sauce made famous by the restaurant chain Bonefish Grill, with shredded cabbage and crunchy carrots and celery. You can swap out the carrots and celery for other crunchy vegetables like thinly sliced sweet bell peppers and radishes. Serve this easy slaw alongside grilled shrimp or use it to top a grilled fish sandwich.
Air-Fryer Steak & Pepper Cabbage Rolls
![a recipe photo of the Air-Fryer Steak & Pepper Cabbage Rolls](https://www.eatingwell.com/thmb/Hfu56VOAno-X28nowQ3aog56Oqw=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/BP_M7009191_R307567_5599-1-6c10497a4e5942c0ac9a8203bd527852.jpg)
Steak and bell peppers are rolled in cabbage leaves for a filling main dish. Use the outermost cabbage leaves, which are larger and will encase the filling better. For smoky flavor, use a poblano instead of a bell pepper.
Massaged Cabbage & Kale Salad with Grapefruit, Blood Orange & Candied Pistachios

Massaging hardy cruciferous vegetables like cabbage and kale softens them, brings out their juiciness and makes it way easier to eat them raw. Squeeze the vegetables as powerfully as you can for the best results. This colorful salad is perfect for the winter holidays.
