Serving it to your baby
From 10 months, cut into strips or small squares. Make sure the cabbage is very finely shredded so it cooks soft.
For the rest of the family
Serve adults' with Japanese mayonnaise, okonomiyaki sauce and a scattering of seaweed flakes.
Storing and reheating
Keep in the fridge for up to 2 days or freeze for up to 1 month. Reheat in a pan until hot through, then cool.

Can babies eat cabbage?
Yes. Cooked cabbage is a great vegetable from 6 months. Shred it finely so it is soft and easy to chew.
Can I add fish?
Yes. Stir in some cooked, flaked white fish or prawns for extra protein.
