1. Kimchi

Not only are fermented foods like kimchi good for you, but they’re delicious. Kimchi is relatively easy to make if you can be patient. Depending on the flavor profile you like to cook with, you can add kimchi as a topping or ingredient to many different types of meals. Get the recipe

2. Sauerkraut

Likewise, sauerkraut is quick and easy to make. The chopping and fermentation process may require some patience, but once it’s done, you can find all the delicious ways to use it. For example, my friend’s Korean mother used to make a dish with sauerkraut, potatoes, and hot dogs that was absolutely delicious.

3. Coleslaw

This one may seem too easy, but it’s a classic for a reason. Plus, if you’re tired of summer salads filled with mayo, you can find various coleslaw recipes to mix it up that doesn’t contain mayo. Look up how different cuisines or countries use coleslaw for extra tips. Get the recipe

4. Okonomiyaki

Okonomiyaki is a savory pancake you will find most often in Japan or in restaurants serving Japanese cuisine. Essentially, you combine chopped-up cabbage with a few other ingredients and can top it however you like. Japanese mayo, bonito flakes, and seaweed are a few toppings to have on hand for this recipe.

5. Egg rolls

This one is a no-brainer—if you’ve ever eaten a crispy, delicious eggroll, you know cabbage is typically a main ingredient. You can even make eggrolls in advance and freeze them to be cooked and eaten later if you’re worried about the cabbage going bad immediately. One person suggested eating “eggroll in a bowl” for a less popular option that foregoes the deep-fried outer layer. Get the recipe

6. Stir fry

The type of stir fry or what you put it in it matters a lot less than if you can find a way to include cabbage. When I have a head of cabbage in the house, I add it to everything. For example, I made chicken lettuce wraps, chopped up a ton of cabbage, and cooked it down with the rest of the meat and sauce.

7. Dumplings or Gyoza

Like eggrolls, dumplings or gyoza are excellent items to make in a large batch and eat at your leisure later. This would also be a perfect item to bring to a party or to make if you’re hosting a large gathering. Get the recipe

8. Chicken Cabbage Salad

Cabbage may be one thing that comes to mind when considering chicken salad. However, the recipe sounds delicious with various seasonings and other ingredients. The person who recommended this recipe said that you can use at least 10-12 cups of cabbage with this recipe alone!

9. Cabbage Soup

There are a few different soup recipes you can make with cabbage. Truthfully, you could add cabbage to most savory soups if you wanted to. However, one recipe usually comes to mind when you hear “cabbage soup,” and it’s one with a broth and tomato base that is surprisingly refreshing. Get the recipe

10. Cabbage Rolls

If you’re willing to put the time and effort into the prep, cabbage rolls are a delicious meal that can be served nearly any time. You can even prep and freeze cabbage rolls to be fully cooked later. Most people use a combination of pork and beef, with rice and tomato. Still, you can find vegetarian recipes if you prefer. Get the recipe
