Kim Dae-seok's Steamed Cabbage with Ssamjang

A healthy, low-salt sesame seed sauce made by steaming crisp cabbage in the microwave and enriching it with abundant small anchovies and minced onion for a rich, savory flavor.

Ingredients needed 3 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Do not salt the cabbage before steaming, as osmotic pressure will cause excessive moisture loss and result in a tough texture.
  • Using a ceramic plate as a lid instead of plastic wrap eliminates concerns about endocrine-disrupting chemicals and enhances internal steaming efficiency.
  • The sesame seed sauce may seem slightly thick at first due to the generous amount of onion, but over time the liquid will naturally seep through, making it smooth and moist.

Recommended for

  • Those seeking a low-sodium, soothing meal to ease digestion after greasy fried foods or dining out.
  • People who want to prepare quick, crisp vegetable steamed dishes using only a microwave without turning on the stove.
