Asian Style Napa Cabbage Salad

 


Normally I would like to cook something new.  If I see an interesting recipe on social media, I would like to re-create it.  Especially if I have all the ingredients at home.  This recipe was such a case, and I liked it a lot.  Will definitely in my rotation for the next time.  I hope you like it,  too!

Ingredients:

About 2 cups/ 1 bowl of thinly sliced Napa cabbage 

1 organic carrot,  thinly sliced

1/4 cup of chopped green onion

1/2 cup of chopped cilantro 

1/4 cup of roasted peanuts 

1 Tbsp of toasted sesame seeds

Pink salt to taste

3 Tbsp rice wine vinegar

1 Tbsp soy sauce

2 Tbsp maple syrup 

2 Tbsp sesame oil

Sprinkles of crushed black pepper


Methods:

1.  In a big bowl, add about 1 Tbsp of pink salt to the cut Napa cabbage and let it sweat for at least half an hour.

2.  Squeeze the Napa cabbage dry and add the carrot, green onion, cilantro,  and peanuts.  Mix well.

3.  Then add the seasoning of vinegar,  soy sauce, maple syrup,  sesame oil, black pepper, and sesame seeds.  Mix and blend all together.  You can do a taste test and adjust seasonings accordingly.   I normally don't like my food too salty.  Serve cold or at room temperature. Enjoy!
