Important Napa Cabbage Tip
I need to mention, very seldom but napa cabbage has black spots on it. It absolutely does not effects the taste and cabbage is perfectly edible and safe to eat, as I read from a few sources. However, garnishing food will be not acceptable. If you cook napa often, you may know what I am talking about. My advice is to cut the bottom day in advance before the event, to be sure the cabbage is spotless and nice inside. I did learn my lesson I can say the hard way. I bought absolutely perfect looking Napa cabbage and was ready to make a flower for decoration. After I cut my cabbage, was so disappointed! The center of the cabbage had so many black spots, so it was impossible to cut them out and make a flower. I asked my son to go to the store and buy Chinese cabbage call also napa, I thought it was enough information. He brought me white cabbage instead… What I can say, we learn something new every day. If you ask someone to buy napa cabbage, be specific. For someone cabbage is cabbage.
