NAPA CABBAGE

You are getting ready to prepare a new recipe and it asks for Napa Cabbage. You are not sure what it is, so you veture out to the grocery store.

Napa cabbage can also be named Chinese cabbage or Celery cabbage. Unlike the regular round head of cabbage that is the staple in most stores, the napa cabbage is shaped like a football and looks a little like leaf lettuce.

It has a sweeter taste and is much milder than the standard round cabbage. When you do find it, you will want to find a head that has tightly packed leaves that are frim and not floppy.

To store the cabbage once you get home simply wrap the head in paper towells and place back into the plastic produce bag and refrigerate. It will keep for up to one week.

When you are ready to use remove amount of leaves that you desire, rinse well under cool water and dry thoroughly.

You can use Napa cabbage in pretty much the same way that you would use standard cabbage.
