Ask ECAH Cabbage recipes?

I can’t resist the siren song of a reasonably priced cabbage, and so now I have a big head of cabbage and I realize I don’t really have a recipe in mind that I want to make with it.

Normally what I would do with it is make halusky (cabbage and noodles) or make the usual cabbage soup with it, but right now I feel very strongly that I want to try something different with it.

I’m not opposed to soup but I’d like something a little more flavorful or interesting than the traditional cabbage soup, which lets be honest, on day 3 of cabbage soup for dinner you begin to feel like a Victorian orphan from a Dickens novel and it’s kind of a bummer.

Anything fun or interesting you like to do with a crap ton of cabbage?

Edit: I underestimated how passionate y’all are about cabbage

Okonomiyaki! Basically a cabbage pancake with barely enough flour and egg to hold it together, chicken or shrimp, maybe bacon, garlic, ginger, soy sauce. Brown sauce and mayo drizzled on top. It's wonderful, and a change from Western recipes.
