I don't know if you guys are cabbage lovers, but that is one vegetable that we have really hard to learn to like since we get it on occasion from our bountiful baskets. If you are a cabbage loving family, have you tried this recipe?? It has become our favorite "go to" meal with cabbage! I hope you'll try it!
Skillet Ham, Cabbage and Potatoes
Another recipe we love with cabbage is GYOZA. The only problem, is it takes quite a while to make enough for your family. But if you have helpers it goes by much faster!
GYOZA (from the Clarke Family):
1 lb. raw hamburger
5 medium sized leaves of Napa Cabbage, Shredded
1/2 Medium Onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely minced
1 tsp. ginger powder *we've never used this since we don't have it
1 dash black pepper
1/4 c. Soy Sauce
1 pkg round or square Won Ton Wraps
Sesame Oil
In a mixing bowl, sprinkle the cabbage with salt and allow to sit for 10 minutes. Squeeze all the water out, then mix in the raw hamburger, onion, garlic, ginger, pepper and soy sauce. Place about 1 tablespoon of mixture on each won ton wrap, and fold in half, seasling the edges with a small amount of cool water. Put 1 1/2 tablespoon of oil in the bottom of a skilled and crowd gyoza in a single layer. Cook on medium high until the wraps are brown on the bottom. Add 1/4 cup water, cover the skillet with a lid and turn the heat down. Allow to simmer for about 15 minutes. Serve with rice and sweet and sour sauce or a sauce made with mustard and soy sauce.
**We have experimented with this to bake in the oven to cook more at a time, and it works great! We place our ready-to-cook won ton wraps on a cookie sheet with high edges, add a little bit of oil to the bottom, and cook at 350 until they are golden brown, and a little crisp, about 15 minutes.

We have also tried this recipe without the the won ton wraps, and just put it over rice. It's good, but you have to make you sure you at least double the sweet and sour sauce, if not triple, to get enough to cover the rice.
