WHAT IS NAPA CABBAGE?
Napa cabbage is a type of Chinese cabbage that has long light-green and white leaves, smooth near the center – and ruffled near the edges.
In Mandarin, napa cabbage is called dàbáicài (大白菜), which translates into ‘big white vegetable’.
Very similarly, in Japanese napa cabbage is hakusai – or 白菜 – which means ‘white vegetable’.
Aside from being the cabbaga of choice for use in Korean kimchi, it’s also a very common ingredient in many Asian stir fry recipes, Japanese simmered dishes like nabe (hot pot) – and even this inventive pork and napa cabbage mille-feuille!
HOW TO COOK NAPA CABBAGE IN A RICE COOKER
This steamed cabbage recipe is super easy to prepare in your rice cooker. In fact, you can even cook your rice at the same time!
Just load your rinsed rice and water in the inner pot as usual.
You see, your Tiger multi cooker can pull double duty because of the Tacook cooking plate. Follow the recipe steps to form your pork and cabbage roll – and place your food inside that inventive cooking plate.
Next, simply set it on top of the inner pot, close the lid and select the Synchro-Cooking setting. As your rice simmers, the steam cooks your bacon stuffed cabbage roll at the same time.
It’s pretty handy when you’re looking for a yummy, satisfying and easy dinner – and want to keep clean up to a minimum afterwards.
