As the moisture from a heap of chopped cabbage evaporates in a scorching hot oven, the leaves shrink and soften and their edges crisp. Each bite is also warming and spicy thanks to a coating made mostly of gochujang, the chile paste made of gochugaru, fermented soybeans and glutinous rice. (Gochugaru and cabbage are a classic combination in kimchi.) Serve alongside tofu, pork tenderloin or another protein, or something starchy like rice or roasted sweet potatoes. Leftovers are great in egg sandwiches and quesadillas.

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Place the sheet pan in the oven, then heat the oven to 450 degrees. In a large bowl, stir together the oil, gochujang, sugar and garlic; it’s OK if the mixture isn’t completely blended.

  2. Step 2

    Quarter the cabbage through the core and cut out the core. Slice each wedge crosswise into 1 ½-inch-thick strips. Add to the bowl, separating the leaves as you go. Sprinkle generously with salt, then toss and squeeze with your hands until evenly coated and slightly wilted. Remove the heated sheet pan from the oven, carefully line it with parchment paper, then spread the cabbage onto the pan in an even layer. (It will be crowded.) Roast without stirring until tender and charred on top, 40 to 50 minutes. Top with the peanuts and scallions.

@Mary. This is a different recipe altogether.

I added grated ginger and a few T boiling water to sauce to thin. Added a block of extra firm tofu, cubed and tossed with 1.5 T of soy sauce and 2T corn starch, then mixed in w cabbage after tossing the cabbage in the sauce. Roasted at 400 for 25 mins. Tossed w peanuts, scallions, and cilantro. A keeper!

Only needs 25-30 minutes to get a good char. 40 minutes almost started a fire in my oven.

Super easy and very delicious and flavorful. Will be making more of this soon! FYI served with rice and salmon adding sesame seeds as well.

I followed the recipe to a T, including putting the pan into the oven while preheating and then taking out and using parchment paper. I cooked it on the middle shelf for 50 minutes and it was perfect in every way. Ate with tofu tossed with soy sauce, cornstarch— over brown rice with Sriracha. If you pay attention to Eric Kim and do what he says-follow the instructions—you can’t go wrong. Best cabbage you will make!

No notes. This is a fantastic, and easy recipe. Pairs wonderfully with Jasmine rice and Chinese cucumber salad with shrimp on the side.
