Farm to Fork : Egg Roll in a bowl with Napa Cabbage

This week at The Works Urban Farm, we're harvesting beautiful Napa Cabbage. Napa Cabbage is a leafy vegetable known for its crisp texture, mild flavor, and versatility in the kitchen.

Napa Cabbage is packed with vitamins and nutrients that support overall health. It is an excellent ingredient for quick and healthy meals that many enjoy.

One of our favorite ways to use napa cabbage is a egg roll in a bowl. This recipe has all of the wonderful flavors of a classic egg roll without being deep fried, making it simple and nutritious.

Napa cabbage is rich in Vitamin C and K , antioxidants, and fiber. One great benefit is that it is easy to cook and add in many dishes like stir fries, salads, wraps, and soup.
