crispy cabbage
I have read on the Internet that one should think of a "crispy" food item as something that has been made crisp either way by baking, frying or (such is our case!) by cooking.

Example sentence:
The secret to making a great tasting cabbage soup is to keep the cabbage crispy.
Bring to boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 10-30 minutes, depending how crispy you like your veggies in the soup.
