Ingredients
- 1 small green cabbage finely sliced
- 1 cucumber thinly sliced
- 2 spring onions chopped
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon sugar
Instructions
- In a small pan over medium heat, lightly toast the sesame seeds until golden and fragrant. Set aside a small portion for garnish.
- Finely slice the cabbage and place it into a large mixing bowl. Add the sliced cucumber, chopped spring onions and half of the toasted sesame seeds to the bowl and toss gently to combine.
- Prepare the dressing by whisking together the sesame oil, soy sauce, grated ginger, and sugar until well combined.
- Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss thoroughly to coat the vegetables evenly.
- Allow the salad to sit for a few minutes to absorb the flavours.
- Before serving, sprinkle the left over toasted sesame seeds over the top for added texture and a nutty finish. This salad can be made ahead and stored undressed in the refrigerator, to be dressed just before serving for maximum crunch.
