Chinese Cabbage
An Asian specialty that combines the thin crisp texture of lettuce with the fresh peppery tang of juicy cabbage. Chinese cabbage tolerates hot weather much better than regular cabbage, and can be grown successfully in multiple seasons.
Whether it’s encountered in a Chinese stir-fry, pickled in Korean Kimchee or used in Japanese soups or sukiyaki, Chinese cabbage plays a principal role in Asian cuisine. Its mild delicate flavor makes it a welcome addition to a salad or sandwich, but it also makes the cabbage vulnerable to overcooking. In Asia, the vegetable is an important source of nutrition in winter. It is typically pickled in Japan and Korea and dried in China to be included in soups during the cold season.
