Spicy Cabbage “Noodles”

I love cabbage. I never really understood just how much I love it until I started on GAPS. And one reason I started to love it more was because it is a great substitute for noodles.

I have learned that sometimes, the mouth feel of a food is almost as important as the flavor. Pasta and me were best friends for most of my life, but gluten is the one thing that I refuse to consume again. And that means no egg noodles.

But honestly, cabbage “noodles” are just as delicious!
The trick is to slice the cabbage in 1/4″ widths, and that makes the wilted cabbage have a texture similar to egg noodles.
