An unusual side dish made by lightly steaming cabbage and cucumber, then tossing them with imitation crab sticks and a tangy, spicy Korean hot mustard sauce.

Ingredients needed 3 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Do not steam the cabbage for more than 4 minutes, or it will lose its crisp texture and become soggy.
  • Never rinse the steamed cabbage with cold water, as this will wash away its natural sweetness and umami flavor—always let it cool naturally in the air.
  • To prevent excess moisture, it’s best to use 2x vinegar instead of regular vinegar.

Recommended for

  • Those looking for a refreshing, tangy side dish to stimulate the appetite.
  • People seeking a bright, crunchy salad-like accompaniment for meat dishes.
  • Anyone wanting to try a creative take on cabbage recipes.
