Cabbage is used in many ways, ranging from eating raw and simple steaming to pickling, stewing, sauteing or braising. Cabbage is a good source of vitamin C, fiber and beta-carotene. It has been shown to reduce the risk of some cancers. Cooked cabbage is often criticized for its pungent, unpleasant odor and taste. In fact cooked cabbage releases pungent smell mostly when it is overcooked. I am a great fan of Kimchee / Kimchi (traditional fermented Korean dish) which is often made with Chinese cabbage. I'll soon post Kimchi rice recipe.
