Red Cabbage Salad with Spicy Miso-Ginger Dressing
A simple but delicious salad pairs crunchy red cabbage with a spicy, savory dressing made with miso and ginger. It's a great side dish any time of the year.
Servings: 4 -5 servings
Ingredients
For the salad:
- 3 cups red cabbage finely shredded (about 1/2 a small head)
- 2 scallions chopped into 2 inch pieces and finely shredded (or finely chopped)
For the dressing:
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 tablespoons white miso paste
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
- 2 teaspoons gochujang or Sriracha, or more, to taste
- 1 teaspoon ginger finely grated
- 1 teaspoon garlic finely grated (1 small clove)
- 1 tablespoon toasted white or black sesame seeds
Instructions
- Add the shredded cabbage and scallions to a large bowl and set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the ingredients for the dressing. If dressing is too thick, stir in 1 tablespoon hot water. Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss to coat. If you like it crunchy, serve it right away. If you like a softer texture, let it sit for an hour or two in the refrigerator.
Notes
Tip: If you like it crunchy but want to make it in advance, place the vegetables on top of the dressing but don’t stir until you’re ready to serve.
