Open in Pepper →Why Cabbage Is Low-Carb's Most Underrated Vegetable
Cabbage is 3g of carbs per cup, costs $3 a head, lasts two weeks in the fridge, and can be the bulk in stir-fries, soups, casseroles, and slaws. Almost nothing else gives you all five.
It also subs for pasta in alfredo and lasagna formats — shredded thin, cooked just until softened, it picks up cream sauces the way noodles do without any of the starch.
The low-carb cabbage recipes home cooks return to on Pepper prove that this economical vegetable can anchor a satisfying, carb-conscious meal any night of the week.
Quick Tips
- 1
Cut against the core
Shred thin perpendicular to the stem. Long cabbage strips cook unevenly and feel like ribbons of disappointment.
- 2
Fry with bacon, not oil
Bacon fat is the right pairing — adds depth that olive oil can't. Two strips' worth is enough for a whole head.
- 3
Stir-fry hot and fast
5-7 minutes in a screaming hot pan keeps the crunch. Low and slow turns cabbage into sad mush.
- 4
Salt early for slaws, late for stir-fries
Slaws need 15 minutes of salt to soften; stir-fries need it at the very end so it doesn't water out.
