Sour Cream Cabbage

•1/2 cup dairy sour cream
1 medium head of green cabbage (Chinese cabbage if available), shredded (about 8 cups)
1 tablespoon canola or olive oil
1 teaspoon all-purpose flour
•1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon butter or margarine
•1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
•1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground pepper
•1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

How to Cook Fresh Cabbage:

Look for heavy, firm heads of good green color. Remove outside leaves. Wash cabbage. Cut into wedges and shred cabbage with a knife. Give the shredded cabbage a quick rinse. Discard the core.

To Boil:

Heat 1 inch (•1/2 inch for shredded cabbage) salted water (•1/2 teaspoon salt to 1 cup water) to boiling. Add cabbage ( and 2 tablespoons of vinegar or lemon juice if using red cabbage). Heat and cover to boiling. Then reduce heat. Boil shredded cabbage for about 5 to 8 minutes until tender and crisp. Then drain.

To Steam:

Place steamer basket in •1/2 inch water (water should not touch bottom of basket). Place cabbage in basket. Cover tightly and heat to boiling. Then reduce heat. Steam until tender and crisp, about 5 to 7 minutes for shredded cabbage.

After the cabbage has been cooked, mix flour and sour cream. Heat the remaining ingredients in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until butter or margarine is melted. Add the cabbage and stir and cook until tender but crisp, about 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in sour cream mixture.

To Microwave This Dish:

Place •1/4 teaspoon salt, 2 tablespoons water and the cabbage in a 3-quart casserole dish that can be microwave. Cover tightly and microwave on high (100%) 3 minutes. Then stir. Cover tightly and microwave until tender but crisp, about 3 to 5 minutes longer. Then drain. Mix sour cream and flour. Omit the oil. Stir remaining ingredients and sour cream mixture into the cabbage.
