This Man's Cook Cabbage Salad

Cabbage preserved in salt to retain crispness, tossed with a non-greasy chili powder seasoning and fragrant perilla leaves for a refreshing, sweet-and-sour vegetable side dish.

Ingredients needed 3 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Using red pepper powder instead of gochujang keeps the dish fresh and non-greasy even after sitting, with a cleaner, brighter aftertaste.
  • Ensure the cabbage is completely dry after rinsing—any remaining moisture can dilute the dressing and make it taste bland.
  • Use green chili peppers that are moderately spicy and crisp, such as fresh green chilies or mild long chilies, rather than hot bird’s eye chilies or overly pungent varieties, for best results in this salad.

Recommended for

  • Those looking to use up a whole head of leftover cabbage in a fresh, tangy side dish.
  • People seeking a light, refreshing vegetable accompaniment to fatty meats or fried dishes.
  • Fans of the fragrant aroma of perilla leaves combined with the nuttiness of sesame seed powder in a pickled-style salad.
