Ingredients

For the salad:
  • 3 cups red cabbage finely shredded (about 1/2 a small head)
  • 2 scallions chopped into 2 inch pieces and finely shredded (or finely chopped)
For the dressing:
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 tablespoons White miso paste
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
  • 2 teaspoons Gochujang or Sriracha, or more, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon ginger finely grated
  • 1 teaspoon garlic finely grated (1 small clove)
  • 1 tablespoon toasted white or black sesame seeds

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add the shredded cabbage and scallions to a large bowl and set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the ingredients for the dressing. If dressing is too thick, stir in 1 tablespoon hot water. Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss to coat. If you like it crunchy, serve it right away. If you like a softer texture, let it sit for an hour or two in the refrigerator.

Notes

  • Tip: If you like it crunchy but want to make it in advance, place the vegetables on top of the dressing but don’t stir until you’re ready to serve.
