Chinese Cabbage Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat broiler.
• Shred cabbage if not using coleslaw mix, and place in salad bowl with green onions.
• Crumble noodles onto broiler pan, add almonds and sesame seeds and broil for about 2 minutes.
• Careful not to let sesame seeds burn.
• In a glass jar with a lid, combine oil, sugar, vinegar, salt, and contents of seasoning packet.
• Pour dressing over salad, and toss well.
• Add toasted noodles, almonds, sesame seeds and fresh basil (if using) RIGHT before serving.

Steps:

• In a bowl, whisk together vegetable oil, sugar, wine vinegar, and soy sauce until the sugar has dissolved. Refrigerate the dressing while preparing the salad.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Spread the broken ramen noodles, almonds, and sesame seeds onto a baking sheet.
• Bake the ramen noodle mixture until lightly browned, about 15 minutes, stirring often. Watch carefully to prevent burning. Allow mixture to cool.
• Just before serving, mix together the napa cabbage and green onions with toasted ramen mixture in a salad bowl until thoroughly combined; toss with the dressing.

Steps:

• In large bowl, combine first four ingredients.
• In small bowl, combine remaining ingredients and blend well.
• Just before serving, add dressing to salad; toss to mix and coat.

Steps:

• First mix cabbage and onions in a large bowl, set aside.
• Melt butter in a frying pan over medium heat. Break noodles in small pieces and brown along with sesame seeds and almonds. Cool and drain on paper towels.
• To make dressing, mix together all ingredients and microwave to dissolve the sugar. Let cool (about 20 minutes) before serving. Dressing can be made a day ahead of time.
• Toss together all salad ingredients and add dressing, just before serving.

Steps:

• In a small skillet, toast sesame seeds over medium heat until golden brown and fragrant.
• In a small bowl, mix together vinegar, sesame oil, olive oil, sugar, salt, pepper, and ramen seasoning packet.
• In a large bowl, mix together cabbage, carrots, and crushed ramen noodles. Toss with dressing to coat evenly. Top with toasted sesame seeds.

Steps:

• Combine green and red cabbage and onion in large bowl. Add remaining ingredients and toss to blend well. Cover salad and refrigerate at least 1 hour and up to 3 hours, tossing occasionally.

Steps:

• Cut cabbage in half, and remove core. Cut into 1-inch wedges and then into 1-inch pieces. Toss these lightly in a bowl, and set aside.
• Under running cold water, scrub beet with a vegetable brush or paper towel. Trim the beet top and beet root to provide a flat base for slicing on a mandoline. Set thickness to 1/8 inch, and slice beets into flat rounds. Season beets with half the lemon juice, and add them to the bowl with cabbage. Set aside.
• Make sesame-anchovy dressing. In a small bowl, cover hijiki with warm tap water. Allow to bloom for 15 minutes, then drain well, and season with ume vinegar or red-wine vinegar. Add miso, tahini, rice vinegar, shiro shoyu, the remaining lemon juice and the anchovies, and whisk to combine. Dressing should have a thick, almost mayonnaise-like consistency.
• Make the kasha furikake. Pour neutral oil into a sauté pan, and place over medium-high heat until it begins to shimmer. Pour kasha into the hot pan, and stir it quickly with a spoon to coat with oil. Allow kasha to fry in the oil, stirring constantly, until it has darkened by two shades of brown. Drain kasha through a fine strainer, and transfer to a plate covered by paper towel. While it is hot, season with the seaweed, which should adhere to the kasha. When it has cooled, mix kasha in a small bowl with the toasted sesame seeds and, if using, the shio kombu. Salt to taste.
• Make the salad. Add 3 tablespoons of the sesame-anchovy dressing to the bowl with the cabbage and the beets, and mix well to combine. Add more dressing if necessary. Transfer the salad to a serving bowl, and sprinkle 4 tablespoons or so of the kasha furikake over the top. (Leftover kasha furikake may be passed at the table, or saved to eat over white rice.)

Steps:

• Discard outer leaves from cabbage. Quarter cabbage and core. Cut quarters crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Wash cabbage well in a large bowl of cold water and spin dry. In a large glass or stainless-steel bowl toss together cabbage and salt until salt is dissolved, about 5 minutes. Transfer cabbage to a colander set over a bowl. Drain cabbage 1 hour. Rinse cabbage well and squeeze in small handfuls until as dry as possible. While cabbage is draining, wearing rubber gloves, seed and mince chiles. Discard outer leaves of lemongrass and trim root end. Separately mince garlic, shallot, and lower 2 inches of lemongrass.
• In a large bowl toss together cabbage, chiles, lemongrass, garlic, shallot, fish sauce, and lime juice. Salad may be made 2 hours ahead and chilled, covered. Serve salad at cool room temperature.

Steps:

• Cut cabbage lengthwise into quarters. Place each quarter on a flat surface, and slice crosswise into very thin slices. Slice only the tender tops. Discard less tender bottom portions. There should be 7 to 8 cups.
• Put cabbage in a large bowl and add carrot and parsley. Blend well.
• Put egg, mustard, shallots and vinegar in a mixing bowl. Start beating while gradually adding the oil.
• Add salt and pepper.
• Add about 1/2 cup of the egg sauce to cabbage and carrot mixture, and toss to blend. Use remaining egg sauce in recipe for the hot skate salad.
