Peking Cabbage Casserole with Cheese

Chinese cabbage can be used to make more than just salads! Like white cabbage, this cabbage behaves well during heat treatment. According to this recipe, Peking cabbage is stewed with carrots and onions sautéed in butter and then baked under cheese, in an egg and milk filling. The casserole turns out to be juicy, healthy, and more tender than if we cooked it from white cabbage. Try not to eat in one sitting – it’s delicious too cold!)
