More info:
Savoy cabbage is a mild-flavored cabbage with green, crinkly leaves. The veggie gets its name from the Savoy region in the western Alps, where the cabbage may have originated.
Ingredient tip:
Daikon ("large root" in Japanese) radishes look like giant white carrots. They have a mild radish flavor and are available at some supermarkets and at Asian markets.
