"A fresh, crisp, tangy cabbage slaw is the perfect side dish for almost any meat or fish meal. It's also a great add-in for tacos and sandwiches. If you love experimenting with different slaw recipes, you'll definitely want to try the Japanese method for making cabbage salad. Called yamitsuki cabbage, this recipe adds some serious flavor and oomph to a typically humble vegetable."
"Yamitsuki cabbage, also known as Izakaya-style cabbage, is a simple recipe that brings out the best in crisp, fresh cabbage. "Yamitsuki" means addictive in Japanese, and the recipe has been passed down through generations of family members in Japan for hundreds of years. What sets this four-ingredient cabbage dish apart is its intensely flavorful dressing, which has the perfect balance of sweet, salty, and umami flavors."
"At its simplest, the dressing includes sesame oil, pepper, and garlic. It is added to raw, chopped cabbage that has been massaged with salt. However, you'll quickly find that different recipe creators put their own unique spin on the dish, and you can too. Some add rice wine, sesame seeds, brown sugar, soy sauce, white miso, and even mushroom bouillon powder. The ingredients you choose will elevate the cabbage from a simple, watery vegetable to one that is packed with savory flavors."
Yamitsuki cabbage is a simple Japanese izakaya-style slaw that highlights crisp cabbage with a bold sesame-garlic dressing. The base preparation uses shredded or rough-chopped cabbage massaged with salt, then tossed with a dressing of sesame oil, pepper, and garlic. Variations commonly include additions such as rice wine, sesame seeds, brown sugar, soy sauce, white miso, and mushroom bouillon powder to deepen sweet, salty, and umami flavors. Preparation can use a whisk or mortar and pestle to blend the dressing before tossing. Flathead or green cabbage work best, though any crisp salad green can be substituted for flexibility.
