What is "angel hair cabbage"?

[mrsadm]

I have a recipe that calls for this type of cabbage. My grocery store has green, red, savoy cabbage in the produce section. Is this stuff frozen or dried or what? Thanks

Oh by the way, the recipe is for mu shu pork.

Dole explains it as delicate tender cabbage. Y'know how some cabbage is pretty hefty. This must be a special variety that is fine and un-hefty. The Dole website shows it packaged already sliced in a bag. I mean I've never heard of it before either.

i also think this is a reference to a Dole product--presliced, very thin strands of regular cabbage. i've seen it packaged at the produce section. always thought it would make some pretty soggy coleslaw...but maybe for stirfry? what's the recipe for?

I made the mu shu pork with regular ol' green cabbage sliced on my mandoline and it came out just fine. Thanks for the info!

I got the impression it was different from regular cabbage but I could be wrong. Maybe it's baby cabbage or some certain variety? Super fine sliced regular cabbage is not delicate, not mine anyway. It doesn't get soggy even when you cook it. This has been my experience.

I cut it this way for a soup I make and it makes the cabbage become like 'noodles' and I fry it sliced super thin and stuff like that. It's very hearty tough stuff. Nothing delicate about it till you cook the bejesus out of it y'know?

I make an easy, quick and delicious mu shu and I buy the Dole coleslaw mix in the bag. Much easier than hauling out my food processor (it stays in the box in the closet) and shredding it myself.
