3 to 4 cloves garlic, peeled, crushed and chopped (2 teaspoons)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1 tablespoon soy sauce
3 tablespoons canola oil
1 firm head Napa cabbage (about 1 pound)

  • Trim the cabbage, removing and discarding damaged or wilted leaves, and cut the head crosswise into 1-inch slices. You should have about 8 cups. Wash well and spin dry in a salad dryer (moisture would dilute the dressing). Ten or 15 minutes before serving, add the cabbage to the dressing, toss well and set aside, so the dressing can penetrate the cabbage and soften it slightly.

NAPA SALAD (CHINESE CABBAGE) -- NO RAMEN NOODLES



Napa Salad (Chinese Cabbage) -- No Ramen Noodles image

Napa was on sale this week so I ended up with more than I could readily include in a stir-fry. I decided to search here to see if it could be used in a cole-slaw or salad but all I came with was a dozen variations of the same recipe that called for ramen noodle. I've had that at pot luck dinners and can't stand it. So here is what I came up with. DS#1 added the pecans -- he's got good taste for a 15yo, hasn't he?

Provided by 3KillerBs

Categories     Apple

Time 15m

Yield 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 head napa cabbage
2 stalks bok choy
1 stalk celery, thinly sliced
2 apples, diced (I recommend a crisp, sweet-tart variety such as Fuji or Gala)
1/2 cup pecans, coarsely broken
1/2 cup canola oil or 1/2 cup other light-flavored oil
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1 pinch celery seed
1/4 teaspoon fresh ginger, very finely minced
1/2 teaspoon prepared brown mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt (to taste)
2 (1 g) packets Splenda sugar substitute

Steps:

  • Wash all produce as necessary.
  • Divide your half-head of napa lengthwise into 3 or 4 sections and knife-shred crosswise to yield strips about 1.5 inches long by 1/4 inch wide.
  • Divide your bok choy stalks lengthwise into 1in sections if necessary and slice thinly. Knife shred the green leaves to match the napa.
  • Mix dressing ingredients and let rest for 5 minutes to blend the flavors.
  • Toss together all salad ingredients with the dressing.
  • Garnish with pecan halves and thin rings of apple if desired.
  • Note -- Other artificial sweeteners, honey, sugar, etc. may be substituted for the Splenda if you prefer.
  • Note -- Can add chunks of cooked ham or other cooked meat to make into a main-dish salad.
