Crisp Coleslaw Sandwich
Refreshing Coleslaw Sandwich Made with Seasonal Cabbage
Cabbage is often enjoyed steamed and served as wraps. While fermented cabbage (kimchi) is delicious with its savory and crisp texture, today we’re making a simple coleslaw with shredded cabbage and pantry staples, reminiscent of the nostalgic salads from Western-style restaurants. We’ve generously filled sandwiches with this coleslaw for a hearty brunch! The fresh crunch of the cabbage, combined with various ingredients from your fridge, creates a wonderfully crisp, refreshing, and sweet-and-sour taste that’s always a delight. It’s also a fantastic side dish for grilled meats. Today’s recipe features crisp Korean green chili peppers, juicy corn kernels, and tender crab sticks, offering a delightful mix of flavors. #SeasonalDish #Coleslaw #CabbageRecipe #HomeCooking #Brunch

Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Feel free to add any leftover vegetables from your refrigerator to create a personalized coleslaw!
Step 2
Prepare half a head of cabbage. Cut it into two halves, remove the hard core, and then separate about 5 leaves. Cabbage can sometimes have pesticide residue, so soak the leaves in water with 1 tablespoon of vinegar for 5-10 minutes. Afterwards, rinse them thoroughly under running water.
Step 3
After soaking, rinse the cabbage leaves again under running water and then shred them thinly.
Step 4
To ensure the coleslaw stays crisp, use a salad spinner to thoroughly remove excess water from the shredded cabbage. Alternatively, you can pat it dry with paper towels.
Step 5
Shred the cabbage and finely mince the other vegetables like carrots, green chili peppers, and onion. Rinse the corn kernels under water and drain them well.
Step 6
In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage and all the prepared vegetables. Add 7 tablespoons of mayonnaise and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. For sweetness, add 1 tablespoon of sugar. Note: If you are using honey mustard sauce, 1 tablespoon of sugar is sufficient. However, if you’re using regular mustard sauce, you might want to increase the sugar to about 2 tablespoons for a sweeter taste.
Step 7
Next, add 1 tablespoon of vinegar, 0.5 tablespoon of mustard sauce, and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. If you don’t have lemon juice, you can substitute it with more vinegar.
Step 8
Finally, season with 0.3 tablespoons of salt and a pinch of white pepper. If white pepper is unavailable, regular black pepper will also work well.
Step 9
Mix everything together thoroughly until well combined. Your delicious and crisp coleslaw is ready! It’s so addictive, you’ll find it hard to stop eating it – a truly irresistible salad.
Step 10
Cabbage, a winter seasonal vegetable, is rich in Vitamin U, which aids in treating stomach ulcers and has anti-inflammatory properties, making it particularly beneficial for those with digestive issues. It’s also known to help lower the risk of breast cancer and boost the immune system, so incorporating it into your diet, especially during cold weather, is a great idea. With its abundance of nutrients, cabbage is highly valued as a ‘winter seasonal’, ‘home cooking’, and ‘recipe’ ingredient.
Step 11
This coleslaw also makes a fantastic snack for kids! Spread a generous amount on slices of bread, and they’ll likely devour it, making it a frequent favorite in your household.
Step 12
Enjoy a delightful brunch by pairing this fresh cabbage coleslaw with a cup of aromatic coffee and some seasonal fruits. It’s a beautiful brunch spread that rivals any cafe’s offering, all prepared in the comfort of your own home.
