A delicious cabbage salad with a fantastic sesame dressing. The dressing is also great as a dipping sauce. The amount of salad in the recipe is calculated as a side dish to protein and carbohydrates. Make a double batch if the salad is to be the main accompaniment to protein.
You will need
Sesame Salad Dressing/Dip
2/3 cup white, peeled and roasted sesame seeds
4 tbsp sugar
0.38 cup soy sauce
2 tbsp white vinegar
2 tbsp water
Salad
9 ounces pointed cabbage, finely shredded
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 - 2 cups (about 2.6 ounces) snap peas, shredded straight across
1/2 cup spring onions, thinly sliced
1/2 cup radishes, shredded
For serving
1/3 cup sesame dressing

How to make it
Start by making the salad dressing:
1. Roast the sesame seeds in a frying pan over low heat and roast until they are golden. Stir occasionally. Grind the seeds into a fine flour in a spice/coffee grinder and transfer them to a large mortar. It is also possible to grind the seeds into an oily powder in the mortar but then you should take a little at a time. Remove the ground seeds and put them in a bowl before the new ones are added. When the seeds are ground and have become an oily paste, put them back into the mortar.
