Question 6

What is Chinese cabbage and what does it taste like?

Accepted Answer

Chinese cabbage, also known as Napa cabbage, is a type of cabbage that is commonly used in East Asian cuisine. It has a mild, slightly sweet flavour with a hint of peppery undertone. Its texture is tender yet crisp, making it versatile for both raw and cooked dishes. The leaves are pale green and can be enjoyed in salads, stir-fries, soups, and braised dishes.

Question 7

Where can I buy Chinese cabbage?

Accepted Answer

Chinese cabbage can be found in most well-stocked grocery stores, particularly in the produce section. It is commonly available in Asian supermarkets, farmers' markets, and health food stores. Look for fresh, firm heads of Chinese cabbage with vibrant green leaves and no signs of wilting or discolouration.

Question 8

How do I properly wash and prepare Chinese cabbage before cooking?

Accepted Answer

To properly wash Chinese cabbage, remove any outer leaves that are wilted or damaged. Cut the cabbage in half lengthwise, then slice it into desired sizes. Rinse the cabbage thoroughly under cold running water, gently separating the leaves to remove any dirt or debris. Drain well or pat dry with a clean towel before cooking.

Question 9

How can I stop the Chinese cabbage from losing its texture?

Accepted Answer

To maintain the texture of Chinese cabbage, avoid overcooking it. When stir-frying, cook over high heat for a short period, just until the leaves are tender-crisp. If braising or steaming, monitor the cooking time closely and remove from heat once the cabbage is tender but still has some crunch.

Question 10

How can I make Chinese cabbage healthier without sacrificing flavour?

Accepted Answer

To make Chinese cabbage healthier without sacrificing flavour, use less oil in stir-fries and opt for steaming or braising with minimal added fats. Enhance the flavour with fresh herbs, garlic, ginger, and a splash of low-sodium soy sauce or black vinegar. Adding vegetables like carrots, bell peppers, or mushrooms can increase the nutritional value of the dish.

Question 11

Can I make Chinese cabbage ahead of time?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can prepare Chinese cabbage ahead of time. Wash, cut, and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. For cooked dishes, prepare them up to a day in advance and reheat gently on the stove to preserve the texture and flavour.

Question 12

How long can I keep Chinese cabbage in the fridge or freezer?

Accepted Answer

Fresh Chinese cabbage can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. For longer storage, blanch the cabbage briefly in boiling water, then freeze in airtight containers or freezer bags for up to six months. When ready to use, thaw in the refrigerator and cook as desired.

Question 13

What are some ways to add extra protein to Mob's Chinese cabbage recipe?

Accepted Answer

To add extra protein to Mob's Chinese cabbage recipe, consider incorporating tofu, chicken, shrimp, or beef. These can be stir-fried separately and added to the dish. Additionally, you can mix in edamame, chickpeas, or a handful of roasted nuts for a protein boost.

Question 14

Do I need soy sauce to make Mob’s Chinese cabbage?

Accepted Answer

While soy sauce is a traditional ingredient in Chinese cabbage recipes, it is not strictly necessary. You can substitute with tamari for a gluten-free option or use other flavour enhancers like fish sauce, miso paste, or a blend of spices and herbs to achieve a similar savoury taste.

Question 15

How can I make Mob’s Chinese cabbage gluten-free?

Accepted Answer

To make Mob's Chinese cabbage recipe gluten-free, substitute regular soy sauce with gluten-free tamari or coconut aminos. Ensure all other ingredients, such as any added sauces or seasonings, are also certified gluten-free. This will maintain the dish's flavour while accommodating gluten-free dietary needs.
