    1200 Calorie Vegan

    Anybody else rely on Napa Cabbage to volumize? I love this stuff. The entire head of nutrient packed cabbage is only 210 Calories with 19 grams of protein. I add it to bean soup and pho for extra filling volume.

      “pho”: I bought the [pho broth packet on Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/Savory-Choice-Liquid-Concentrate-Vegetable/dp/B07CPHJLZ8/), added lime juice, napa cabbage, green onion, cilantro. The pho packets are much cheaper at Whole foods and other places.

      The bean soup: butter beans[, no-chicken better than bouillon](https://www.vitacost.com/better-than-bouillon-vegetarian-no-chicken-base-8-oz-2) broth, napa cabbage, corn, celery, onion, carrot

      other uses for napa cabbage: stir fry, taco base, salads, spring rolls, egg rolls, kimchi…

      Does Napa cabbage freeze well? I’ve always shied away from buying it because its so big and we’re a household of two.

      Wow- that’s a decent amount of protein for a cabbage…. What’s the gas situation like? I typically only eat cabbage in 1/4 head portions to prevent my gut from erupting with bad.

      We’ll I am making that soup for lunch! I always have one in the fridge but don’t know what to do with it.. it is my favorite hot pot item; my husband and I will use a hot pot base and fill it with Napa and enoki mushrooms!

      Cabbage is a nightmare for anyone with digestive issues or a sensitive stomach.

      Yes! I make it with peanut noodles all the time. I soak the rice noodles in boiling water, and when cooked, pour the boiling water/noodles over a sieve filled with chopped Napa cabbage, stir around, the run cold water over to cool. Semi cooked without cooking. So easy and good.

      19 grams of protein in a head of Napa cabbage? That’s awesome, I had no idea. Thanks for teaching me something today!

      Just any cabbage for me, so good when I’m running out of calories for the day or saving up for later

      One of my favs. I usually finely slice it and serve it underneath / mixed into my stir fry’s.
