Ingredients

For the Cabbage

  • 500 grams Green cabbage shredded

For the Dressing

  • 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Mirin
  • 1 tablespoon Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
  • 1 clove Garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger grated
  • 1 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
  • 1 teaspoon Salt

For the Garnish

  • 2 stalks Scallions thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds toasted

Instructions

Step-by-step Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, place the shredded green cabbage and evenly sprinkle it with salt. Toss the cabbage to ensure every piece is coated. Let it sit for 10 minutes at room temperature to draw out moisture.
  • While the cabbage sits, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, mirin, sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl until the sugar dissolves smoothly into the mixture.
  • After 10 minutes, drain any excess liquid from the cabbage. Gently squeeze to remove any remaining moisture.
  • Pour the prepared marinade over the drained cabbage and toss thoroughly to ensure each shred is coated evenly.
  • Transfer the dressed cabbage to a serving dish. Top with thinly sliced scallions and sprinkle toasted sesame seeds over the cabbage.
  • Cover the serving dish and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
