Most cabbage haters have been subjected to overcooked stuff,
IMHO. Cabbage does not need to be cooked at all. Shredded
cabbage makes some pretty good salads and Japanese Tonkatsu, for
example, is served on it. Strictly speaking, Tonkatsu is
deep-fried, battered pork but oven-fried chicken also works. One
salad that I like is Cabbage & Mushroom Salad (Insalata
Appetitosa, from Bologna)
