Vegan meals made with cabbage

We build these 23 meals around cabbage's crunch and versatility, from the 30-minute Cabbage Stew with Tempeh and Crispy Kale to the quick 20-minute Cold Sesame Noodle Salad. Meat Lovers' Potstickers and the Mediterranean Sushi Rolls with Tahini Dipping Sauce show how well it pairs with sesame and ginger. Most meals here come together in under 30 minutes, making cabbage an easy weeknight staple.
