The inner core is very stringy; I think if I got rid of the core it will be much better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-use-kohlrabi#post-989547 Mon, 05 Aug 2013 09:08:03 +0000 immabeetoo 989547@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mfa_lady: thanks!</p> <p>@Mrs. Tricycle: I think you're the only 'fan'! It must be super easy to grow or something- it doesn't appear that many CSAs have people clamoring for it :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-use-kohlrabi#post-989460 Mon, 05 Aug 2013 08:47:40 +0000 MrsH 989460@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Raw in salad or my favorite soup (kohlrabi, onion, a little stock, some milk, salt pepper thyme - blend) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-use-kohlrabi#post-989427 Mon, 05 Aug 2013 08:37:19 +0000 LuLu Mom 989427@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do the same as @Mrs. Tricycle! Steam it and eat it. We aren't a huge fan of it but we received some from DH's uncle's garden and didn't want it to go to waste. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-use-kohlrabi#post-989406 Mon, 05 Aug 2013 08:27:21 +0000 mfa_lady 989406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>google "kohlrabi apple slaw" for some great ideas! i had the same csa problem! i can't find the one i used a while back, but it was the only kohlrabi recipe/combo i've really liked. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-use-kohlrabi#post-989392 Mon, 05 Aug 2013 08:20:56 +0000 Mrs. Tricycle 989392@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I peel it, then cut it into wedges, then steam until tender. A little salt and I'm happy. I actually love the stuff!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-use-kohlrabi#post-989124 Mon, 05 Aug 2013 00:20:40 +0000 joyjoy 989124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It just tastes like cabbage to me, so whatever I'd put cabbage in, I'll chop up kohlrabi and stick that in as a substitute. I think my favorite thing I've done was a salad/slaw with kohlrabi and apples cut into matchsticks with a lemon/yogurt/olive oil dressing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-use-kohlrabi#post-989107 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 23:32:52 +0000 tysonja 989107@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: @Mrs. Twine: LOL at 'tastes likes stir-fry'!! hehe. i totally understand....</p> <p>sometimes we try to mix it up by serving it over different things other than rice. chinese egg noodles, flat rice noodles, or even spaghettini noodles are good! just make sure to flavour the noodles a bit after boiling by adding some sesame oil and some other chinese sauce (oyster, hoisin, and/or soy) to give it a bit of pep. and give the noodles a quick stir fry in a hot pan :)</p> <p>oops sorry didn't mean to write so much! the noodles are my favourite part of stir fry :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-use-kohlrabi#post-989096 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 23:13:04 +0000 Mrs. Twine 989096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: I have several sauces/marinades/whatever you want to call them, but all the same, it tastes like stir fry. Which is great for disguising stuff that is not fabulous, but it's also like this supremely same Chinese-restaurant-style equalizer: you could have some delicious produce that boasts hoardes of singing angels trailing in its wake, put it in there, and... stir-fry. Similarly, I could dredge up something random from our yard that the dogs wouldn't even want to touch (which would be why it was still in our yard) and, assuming we didn't get some sort of food poisoning, it would be... stir-fry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-use-kohlrabi#post-989086 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 23:09:25 +0000 immabeetoo 989086@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Twine: oh man. would he ever get along in this house :) I similarly asked if he liked the stir fry tonight and he started with "well... it's stir fry..". I have been mixing hoisin sauce &amp; srichacha lately which kicks it up a notch! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-use-kohlrabi#post-989082 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 23:05:44 +0000 Mrs. Twine 989082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: I was going to put "bam!" like Emeril because I'm tired and it's put me in a punch-drunk-silly sort of mood. My favorite is I always ask Mr. T what he thinks of the stir-fry and he always says, "it's fine." It's gotten to where we both laugh as soon as I start the question. It never tastes bad, but it just always tastes like... well, stir fry. But so I always pretend that it's this new, fantastic thing that I'm entreeing, and he thinks I'm a giant dork. "Tastes like stir-fry" is the new "tastes like chicken." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-use-kohlrabi#post-989078 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 23:01:35 +0000 immabeetoo 989078@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Twine: HAHA so perfect - I just had stirfry and included our giant head of asian cabbage... I wish I'd thought of that! DH is normally my human garbage disposal but the CSA is pushing our boundaries. This is a shot of the bok choy from 2 weeks ago, we've received the same amount each week. </p> <p>@Baby Boy Mom: ooh that is a good idea for a side! thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-use-kohlrabi#post-989070 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 22:54:32 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 989070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't really like it, but I've had it before in salads with tomato and cucumber all cubed and then a lemon/olive oil dressing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-use-kohlrabi#post-989067 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 22:52:42 +0000 Mrs. Twine 989067@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I eat it with PB (sooooo creative. I know. ;) ) I am not really a fan. Or I use it in stir fry. I put just about anything in stir fry. Ask Mr. T. It is my go-to way of getting rid of CSA surplus. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-use-kohlrabi#post-989064 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 22:49:57 +0000 immabeetoo 989064@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have two languishing in my fridge from our CSA and I'm not seeing anything enticing via Google. Any tips?? </p>
