This simple cabbage salad is crunchy, crisp, savory and subtly sweet — just massage everything together for a quick side that you will not stop eating. Instant dash powder, which can be purchased in Asian grocery stores or online, adds a pleasant fishy flavor. The more you massage the cabbage, the more tender it will be.

Directions

  1. Stir together 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 1 clove grated garlic, 1/2 teaspoon instant dashi powder, and 1/4 teaspoon each kosher salt, pepper and sugar in a large bowl until combined. Core 1/2 small head green cabbage and chop into 1-inch pieces. Add to the bowl, toss and massage the sesame dressing into the cabbage until evenly coated.
