Large white butterfly eggs. Catching those eggs or the caterpillars newly hatched is the best way of control.

Cabbage white butterfly eggs, which hatch into caterpillars which eat
brassiccas. There will be more egg sites on your crop so have a search.
Just tear out the sections of leaf with eggs on them.

Bugger! I've already got flea beetles and diamond back moth
caterpillars! Still this is mainly on the Kohl Rabi which I'm expecting
to harvest soon. That should interrupt their life cycle a bit!
