| − | '''Nappa cabbage''' (also: '''NAPA cabbage''', '''Chinese leaves''', '''Chinese cabbage''', '''Wombok''', '''Baechu''', '''Celery cabbage''', '''Chinese celery cabbage''', '''Peking cabbage''', '''wong bok''', '''petsai''', '''shantung cabbage''', '''hakusia''', '''michihli''' and confusingly sometimes even [[Cookbook:Bok Choy|bok choy]]) is a family of cabbages (''Brassica campestris, Pekinensis group'') used in [[Cookbook:Cuisine of China|Chinese]] and [[Cookbook:Cuisine of Korea|Korean cuisine]].

| − | Nappa cabbage is commonly used as cheap filler for [[Cookbook:Egg Roll|egg rolls]] (spring rolls), [[Cookbook:Wonton Soup|wontons]], and [[Cookbook:Chow Mein|chow mein]]. It makes for a good vegetable addition to stir fries. It can be used as a milder and more delicate alternative to green cabbage. Bok choy, green cabbage or savoy cabbage can be substituted for nappa cabbage but these will have a stronger flavor and take longer to cook.
