various ideas come to mind:

slice it up and put it in a mix
of water, sugar and vinegar. add
onions or whatever else you might
like. keeps in the fridge for a
while. becomes the sweet and sour
component of many other dishes or
enjoyed uncooked and eaten crunchy.

maybe it could be pickled? i've
never pickled cabbage as i like
saurkraut, but perhaps it would
come out ok? if blanched lightly
and then processed you might keep
some texture and crispness.

can you make saurkraut out of it?

do you like kimchee?

isn't it used in eggrolls? i
know those freeze ok.
