Cabbage Noodles

Although few people think to substitute cabbage for noodles, it is a surprisingly easy option. It has particularly few carbs, with only 6 grams in every 3.5 ounces (100 grams). Interestingly, this amount of cabbage contains 85% of the recommended daily intake (RDI) for vitamin K and 54% of the recommended daily intake (RDI) for vitamin C.

Along with a variety of other vitamins and minerals, cabbage also contains a considerable amount of folate. Instead of lasagna sheets, you may use whole cabbage leaves. As an alternative, slice the cabbage head into thin noodles for lo mein or pad thai. The cabbage leaves will be ready if they can be easily bent without breaking if they are going to be used for lasagna. Don't boil them for too long; they will continue to cook in the oven.
