Taste & Role

🍯 Sweet

Stir-fry base and hot pot staple.

What it is

Napa cabbage is China's everyday green — sweeter and more tender than Western cabbage. The thick white ribs and leafy tops cook at different rates, so separate them: ribs go in first, leaves in the last minute. It is also the classic hot pot vegetable.
