I read this the way the dude in forest gump listed off all the different shrimp dishes you could make
Yeah there's a million ways to use a cabbage
Pickled cabbage is easy and good.
Shredded cabbage on tacos
Pozole with shredded cabbage. Pozole is crazy easy. Veg broth, soaked blended chiles (guajillo and ancho, arbol optional if you want spicy), can of hominy, can of beans. That's the base, then add whatever veggies you like. Fresh cabbage, cilantro, fresh chiles, sliced radish, onion, green onion. Amazing for winter
Add it to soups, either cooked or raw
Take a picture of it once a day until Liz Truss stops being Prime Minister
I mean what cant you do with a cabbage
I'd make some coleslaw
Buy more. Buy a cart. Move them in cart. Become cabbage man. Have the cart toppled by a young rascal with arrows tattooed on his body
Cabbage is one of the few leafy vegetales you can cook for a length of time. That means it survives soups and can go in somewhat early on a stir-fry.
If you use it in a salad, consider very thin slices.
Use it raw in whole leaf form to make "lettuce" wraps
Slice it into fine strips, then stirfry veggies and or meat of choice with oil until almost done, add the cabbage strips until done to your liking, add a sauce of choice (try 1/4 cup each soy sauce and chili garlic sauce like Sambal with some sugar to taste, and a slurry of cornstarch to thicken)
The cabbage makes a good replacement for rice or noodles this way, or can contrast the texture nicely
What kinda cabbage? You're getting a lot of good options here and if you wanna pick some I can give a recipe for about any that is vegan and rules. I know my way around a cabbage. Highly recommend pickling some, this isn't aa scary as you may think, just pop it in a sealed thing with some vinegar, maybe grate a bit of carrot in their too, big long grates, white vinegar or apple cider is probably best, if you're looking at about a lite of vinegar to soak I'd add a tablespoon of salt, a bit over a tea spoon of white sugar (brown might actually be nice, haven't tried, actually, note to self, molasses pickles) a tiny tiny smidgen of Dijon if you have it, maybe a bit of oregano and parsely too a squirt of lemon juice can be nice too. Use what you've got. You can also make it like a quarter to a third water to vinegar ratio for a lighter pickling. If you are doing it this way you have to keep it refrigerated tho. Non fridge pickling requires different vinegar than normal. If you wanna change your mind about coleslaw I have a red whine vinaigrette red cabbage (usually) slaw thst rips hard
green cabbage! cabbage rolls sounds like a good way to expand my shitty culinary skills so any recommendations on a tasty vegan filling for that? pickling would be cool i think, i just lack appropriate vessels which sucks.
Rice and a core of seitan sausage works good, any store bought vegan sausage is basically that. Making seitan itself is it's own thing. Top that with a thicc and spicy marina. Dumplings stuffed with a cabbage, carrots, mush onion and garlic stir fry also kick all kinds of ass. Dumpling wraps are pretty easy to come by, you basically do the first stage of rolling a blunt with it and then sorta scoop everyone lore to the center and roll roll/fold it inward in a a pierogi kinda shape for easy mode. Then fry that. Red cabbage is my money cabbage but the taste difference is honestly negligible, presentation has been a big part of my job for a while and they look prettier but they've also just got more oomph. There's more cabbage taste on em.
Oh shit oh fuck, if you really wanna cabbage. Make some KRAUT
Shred it and saute it with garlic and soy sauce. It's a great late night snack
sauerkraut
Raw cabbage pieces with hummus is actually a great snack.
Easiest thing to do is cut it into slices and roast it in the oven with some oil and spices on it.
Second easiest is coleslaw, if you love using a knife or have a food processor. I go for the acidic and slightly sweet coleslaws.
Cabbage Potato Onion Garlic Water Spices Bit of apple cider vinegar
Delicious cabbage potato soup
Jiaozi
seconding what's already been said in this thread: okonomiyaki! Shred cabbage with some carrot and green onion, mix with a crepe like batter with soy sauce, pan fry it until a nice pancake, then drizzle with sriracha mayo. Perfect cheap meal for when you feel like only cooking a little
Using eggis instead of flour gives you an egg foo young patty, also very good.
I would just eat it raw, personally. But you could make cabbage rolls I guess
microwave it with tuna
steam
cut it in big thick steak like slices and bread and fry those and dip them in ranch

Sauerkraut, add some fennel seeds or whatever and its gonna be killer.
Caraway seeds are good, too
Minestrone soup.
Stock, can of crushed tomatoes, can of diced tomatoes, quartered or halved small potatoes, zucchini, green beans, can or two of kidney beans, the cabbage(probably half unless you're making a huge pot, or it's a small cabbage), and whatever other veggies you like. Garlic, cumin, salt and black pepper, plus a good amount of whatever hot sauce you like.
Cook until the potatoes are soft.
Lots of great options here, and may I also recommend one of my favourite comfort foods: colcannon. Irish dish of cabbage in mashed potatoes.
Put it in soup
What kind of cabbage?
Okonomiyaki or yakisoba! They're delicious and the cabbage is perfect for it!
Make larb and eat it out of cabbage cups.
I'd be loath to suggest br*tish food, but look up bubble and squeak. Perfect winter food imo
Shreds of cabbage go really well in vegetable or chicken soup. They give a really good bulk to the vegetable broth.
Finely chop up cabbage with an onion, maybe a parsnip too, add protein and/or umami sauce, also thyme and garlic, roll out some dough somewhere along the spectrum of bread dough to pastry dough, fold it over the mix and bake or fry it.
