This is a very healthy and easy salad to make. Great for lunch time and light snacking.
Makes 4 servings | Time: 15 minutes

1 pound Napa or Savoy cabbage, cored and shredded
2 carrots, peeled and grated
2 or 3 scallions, minced
1/4 to 1/3 cup peanut (preferred) or canola oil
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
1 teaspoon soy sauce
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Start by combining the vegetables in a bowl. Then mix the oil, lime juice and soy sauce. The original recipe says you can add salt but I think the soy sauce is good enough. Add fresh ground black pepper if you wish. Toss the veggies and dressing then serve cold.

Pork with Layered Cabbage

Here’s a great recipe I found on simply recipe. Elise mentioned that she use to have this in her old neighborhood in san fran. at a Hungarian restaurant. They went out of business but she was kind enough to share this recipe with her readers.

Ingredients
2 pounds of sauerkraut
1 large head green cabbage
2 tbsp olive oil
1 cup finely chopped onions
1/4 tsp of finely chopped garlic
1 lb ground lean pork
1/4 cup rice, cooked in boiling salted water (yielding 3/4 cup cooked)
2 lightly beaten eggs
2 tbsp sweet Hungarian paprika
1/8 tsp marjoram
1 tsp salt
freshly ground pepper
1 cup water mixed with 1 cup tomato puree
1 cup sour cream

Method
1 Rinse the sauerkraut in cold water. If needed, soak in cold water 10-20 minutes to reduce sourness. Squeeze dry and set aside. In a large saucepan, bring to a boil enough salted water to cover the cabbage. Add the cabbage, turn the heat to low and simmer 8 minutes. Remove the cabbage and let it drain while it cools enough to handle. Pull off 16 large unbroken leaves and lay them on paper towels to drain and cool further.

2 In a 10-inch skillet, saute the onions and garlic in olive oil, until the onions are lightly colored. In a large mixing bowl, combine the pork, rice, eggs, paprika, marjoram, the onion-garlic mixture, salt and a few grindings of black pepper. Mix well with a fork or wooden spoon.

3 Place 2 tablespoons of the stuffing in the center of one of the wilted cabbage leaves and, beginning with the thick end of the leaf, fold over the sides, then roll the whole leaf tightly, as you would a small bundle. Repeat with more leaves until all the stuffing has been used.

4 Spread the sauerkraut on the bottom of a 5-quart casserole and arrange the cabbage rolls on top of it. Add the water mixed with the tomato puree. Bring the liquid to a boil, then cover the pan tightly and cook the stuffed cabbage over low heat for 1 hour. Transfer the rolls from the casserole to a warm plate. Stir in the sour cream to the sauerkraut. Simmer another 5 minutes. Lift the sauerkraut onto a serving platter with a slotted spoon. Arrange the cabbage rolls on the sauerkraut and pour some of the sauce over them. Serve the rest of the sauce in a sauceboat.

Serves 4-6.
