Cabbage is one of the most commonly found and inexpensive vegetables on the planet. It is cooked in many delicious ways across different cultures and each nationality has its own version of cabbage preparations. The Indians make subzi, the Aussies makes coleslaw, the Germans make Sauerkraut, the Koreans Kimchi and so on.
Cabbage can also make a great low-calorie option and is frequently recommended for people who want to lose weight healthily, although its worth noting that eating cabbage by itself is not nutritionally complete and should be eaten as a part of a balanced, healthy diet, not the main component!
According to United States Department of Agriculture, 100g of raw cabbage contains only 25 calories. Cooking the cabbage can decrease its calorie content slightly.
Cabbage is a good source of dietary fibre and can be used either as cooked or a raw part of many salads. I love mine raw, cooked and in soups.
Did you know that chilled cabbage leaves are traditionally used by breastfeeding women to relieve breast engorgement and pain? I am letting my little secret out, I know it helps from my own experience.
In this recipe, the cabbage is first cooked with ginger powder, garlic, chilli/paprika which gives a nice taste to the cabbage, then the eggs are added and quickly scrambled to give the cabbage a lovely finish. Serve with the smoky chipolatas and Roma tomatoes for a satisfying low calorie winter breakfast!!
Always use fresh cabbage if you are making these breakfast bowls, as fresh cabbage has better flavour. It is best served immediately after cooking.
