Main Ingredients- 1 head Napa cabbage
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Carefully separate the leaves of the fresh Napa cabbage and wash them thoroughly under running water. It’s crucial to drain the water completely after washing; residual water can dilute the dressing.
Step 2
In a bowl, combine all the dressing ingredients for the Napa cabbage salad and mix well. Unlike kimchi, for this salad, add sesame oil to enhance the savory flavor. Stir until all ingredients are well combined to create a delicious dressing.
Step 3
Add the prepared dressing to the thoroughly drained Napa cabbage and toss gently. Be careful not to knead too forcefully, as this can diminish the cabbage’s crispiness and impart a raw taste. Instead, lightly toss with your hands, mixing gently to ensure the dressing evenly coats the leaves.
Step 4
And there you have it – a crispy and delicious Napa cabbage salad is complete! The savory and clean taste of fresh Napa cabbage has a unique charm that cooked vegetables can’t replicate. It’s great as a side dish, or you can top a bowl of warm rice with a generous amount and mix it all up for a satisfying meal. With minimal cleanup, this Napa cabbage salad is a truly satisfying dish, so be sure to try making it!
