One of the first posts I wrote for Cooking-4-One was a recipe for Sweet and Sour Red Cabbage, a delicious side that I enjoy regularly. Given my recent sous vide experiments with vegetables and grains, I searched to see what it would take to make this dish using my immersion circulator. Well, I found the information I desired and the results I saw looked delicious. The one recipe that I based mine on comes from Kate Williams. Of course, I tweaked it slightly for my own tastes tonight. I substituted apple cider vinegar and bacon for the balsamic vinegar and currants. The results were amazing. The cabbage and carrots were bright and tender crisp with a hint of smoky bacon flavor, a subtle sweet and saltiness…
Tonight’s dish is one I have never made before but found (quite by accident) while researching a different dish. I like egg rolls and in the past had many people over to the house for my prawn or chicken egg rolls. They were big and bold, vegetable filled and flavorful. Then I just stopped making them and began to experiment with different cuisines. But egg rolls were always there – only I enjoyed them when I would go out. Well it is time to rectify my oversight of homemade egg rolls and this dish provides all the flavors of an egg roll in a bowl – how nice it that?

Today I decided to try and make a dish I have only had at restaurants, but enjoy immensely. Okonomiyaki – that delicious cabbage ‘pancake’ made with various vegetables and meats – seems simple but is actually quite challenging. The biggest challenge was deciding on a recipe; there are so many! The next challenge was deciding on the ingredients I wanted to use and lastly, was making the okonomiyaki sauce and kewpie mayo that are necessary for this dish. Well, I think I pulled it off on my rookie attempt. Take a look at the pictures below and let me know what you think! Enjoy! Save…
Here is a recipe I found on RecipeTinEats. Nagi has a winner with this recipe and her versatile ‘Charlie‘ sauce is the best. Chow Mein is wonderful since it is easy and quick to prepare, loaded with vegetables, is easily adaptable with many different vegetable and meat combinations, and has plenty of flavor. In my version pictured, I added oyster mushrooms, red and green bell peppers, and white onion for even more vegetable flavors! Easy enough for a weeknight dinner, versatile enough for using up any leftover vegetables (or meats) you have, this recipe is a winner through and through. Give it a try!

Tonight I am going way out on a limb. I have never made kimchi before, but I had some napa cabbage to use up so I thought, “what the heck, why not?”. I found several recipes online and from them I settled on the tweaked recipe below. I have to say the process for this ‘easy kimchi’ was fun. And do you know what the best part is… I can say I made it! Now, I wonder what fun things I can make with my kimchi later this week?

Tonight I made a flavorful soup for a cold winter night using the rest of the potatoes and cabbage I had from last week’s shopping. The basic recipe comes from Rachel Ray, but of course, I changed it. The primary changes were to add hickory smoked bacon and two types of paprika, something I felt would provide depth of flavor. To be honest, I would expect to see this recipe in a Central or Eastern European home cookbook with all it has going on. This recipe does make more than 1 serving, so expect leftovers… which is not a bad thing! Save Print Kielbasa, Cabbage and Potato Soup Prep time: 20 mins Cook time: 1 hour 15 mins Total time: 1 hour…
Here is a fast and easy meal, either for dinner or lunch. One of my favorite wursts to eat are knackwurst and there is a warm feeling of family when I have this dish. I ate these wurst all the time as a kid and it was one of the first meals I prepared for myself when learning to cook as a youngster. And you will see why it was easy and why I love to eat these distinctive wursts. Achtung baby, let’s get cooking!

Again, as part of the planning (remember, I used part of a cabbage head in the Drunken Noodles recipe a few days ago), here comes a tasty German inspired braised cabbage dish. A dish perfect for the meal I have planned (Knackwurst), but this dish is great with Schnitzel or Rouladen also. Well, it is not going to cook itself, so let’s get to it, OK?

Feeling like something spicy? Feeling like something incredibly satisfying? How about robust flavors? Well, if all this sounds great to you, may I suggest tonight’s meal – Drunken Noodles! I made this recipe with chicken, Thai basil, cilantro, fish sauce, ginger, shallot, scallions, cabbage, carrot and a host of other supporting ingredients. Yes, I used a chicken breast (of course) but thinly sliced beef, prawns, etc work equally well. The challenge of this dish is in the preparation. Have everything ready to go before you start because once you get started, it comes together quickly. I’m hungry, so let’s dive in!

Like sauerkraut, rotkohl has many variations. This side dish is another that pairs excellently with traditional German fare – schnitzel, sauerbraten, rouladen, wurst, etc. I suggest playing with the recipe to suit your own tastes – substitute cider vinegar for the balsamic, brown sugar for honey, omit the onions and/or bacon, add apples, pears, or caraway, etc. Sweet and Sour Red Cabbage (Rotkohl) Ingredients: 1/2 head small red cabbage, sliced thinly (approximately 3 – 4 cups) 1/2 small yellow onion, diced (approximately 3/4 cup) 2 -3 slices bacon, cubed (approximately 3/4 cup) 1 tbsp butter 2 tbsp honey 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar salt pepper Preparation: Heat a large skillet over medium medium-high heat.
