In this piquant spin on boiled cabbage, brussels sprouts—the cruciferous vegetable's mini cousins—are roasted to crispy perfection, then tossed in a sticky Korean-inspired glaze. Gochujang is a red hot pepper paste that adds complex flavour and some heat.
A traditional fermented Korean side dish, kimchi is a sweet and spicy combination of sliced cabbage, other vegetables and seasonings. About a day after jarring the kimchi, you will begin to see bubbles in the liquid; this is a sign that the fermentation process is working.
Japanese pork-and-cabbage dumplings, called gyoza, inspired these yummy burgers. The subtle sweetness of brioche or pain au lait buns makes for a perfect pairing, but if you can't find them, substitute with your favourite soft hamburger buns.
Kohlrabi looks a little like an alien's head, but its raw radish–cabbage flavour is lovely in salads. Didn't know you could eat rutabaga raw too? You bet! The dressing is equally tasty over julienned celery root or broccoli stems, or shredded Brussels sprouts.

The classic pairing of orange and fennel gets a new twist with the addition of crunchy red cabbage and a creamy dressing. Make sure to add the oranges at the last minute -- they'll give the salad a brighter flavour if they sit in the dressing only briefly.
Kimchi is pickled fermented cabbage that's used as a spicy condiment for Korean food. Its hot and sour properties make it blend perfectly with crunchy carrots and cool cucumber. Pair this slaw with a bratwurst, or veggie or turkey sausage, then spoon the mayo over top.
This easy slaw will make you nostalgic for the fast-food coleslaw of your childhood. No one will ever guess it is made with brussels sprouts, which are higher in protein, vitamin C and folic acid than green cabbage. Using a food processor to chop the sprouts makes the prep ultraspeedy.
This is a standard filling used throughout northern China. Dried shrimp (available at Chinese food stores) add depth to the relatively bland pork–and–napa cabbage mix. If you wish, add up to 2 cups (500 mL) finely chopped Chinese or garlic chives. Others might like to add a handful of finely chopped fresh coriander.
