Chinese cabbage (or Napa cabbage) is oblong in shape with crisp stems and frilly greenish-yellow leaves. (Napa is a Chinese word that translates roughly as 'leaf'). This cabbage variety is sweet and softer than the regular green cabbage and makes delicious summer salads. It also contains less water than regular cabbage, making it perfect to use in salads to prevent the dressing from being watered down.
