Does napa cabbage taste different? I have a regular cabbage and thought I might give this a go tonight.

Alrighty then! I'm going to make this tomorrow. I'll let you know how the family liked it. Thanks kadesma, this will hit the spot perfectly. I think I'm going to do either pork chops or tenderloin. Heeeey...maybe I'll do pork chops with your onion gravy and have a kadesma dinner night!

This sounds similar to one I've made that included using crushed ramen noodles and toasted slivered almonds, love it! Thanks Ma!

It was the water chestnuts and the balsamic vinegar that sold me. I make that other coleslaw too and we all love it. You need a little crunch in there. Mmmmmm!

I have a question about cole slaw, Kades. I threw out some really tasty cole slaw...the vinegary kind...the other day because it had been in the fridge for a week. It seems to me, though, that there's really nothing to spoil. I'm thinking it just might pickle, or ferment a bit. What are you thoughts on this?

I've never really pickled anything Connie so I won't be of much help it seems to me that it just might pickle and not spoil . Let's see if anyone else can help us out.

It will keep for a long time, both cabbage and vinegar will last a very long time separately, together, almost forever! (Well, a few weeks anyway) Maybe you can save it.....

Sounds like another winner Kadesma.

I love using Napa cabbage for cole slaw. I prefer slicing the cabbage by hand and napa cabbage really slices nicely. The wrinkles help and so does the shape.

What I have always like about Napa cabbage is that it is a smaller cabbage and when used you don't have enough for an army. Whether it be for cole slaw or a boiled dinner. The darker richer green of the leaves is more attractive.

I like Nappa cabbage best of them all. It's so tasty and easier to cut. Glad you like the recipe.

Is napa cabbage the wrinkly one?

Napa cabbage has the elongated heads. Savoy is the wrinkly one. Although, technically speaking, they all have some wrinkles.

I use regular cabbage for Kimchee because we don't grow Savoy. I must say that when I have bought cabbage at the store, it is much tougher than the cabbage we get from the garden. The garden cabbage is also sweeter than store-bought cabbage.

How right you are. Cabbage we grow ourselves is so much more tender and sweet. I know we must shop for things but growing as much as we can sure helps and it does spoil us

I have difficulty getting regular cabbage sliced thin enough for me to eat 2ndary to a teeth issue. I was happy to find pre-cut "angel hair" at the store, something that they don't always carry. Now, I could get out the mandoline, but that would be too easy. I have to try Napa cabbage and see if I can get it to slice the way that works best for me. Or is it savoy I should buy> I'm confused. I just woke up from a siesta.
