Main Ingredients- Spring Cabbage (Bomdong) 20 leaves
- Red Bell Pepper 1/2
- Yellow Bell Pepper 1/2
- Onion 1
- Canned Corn 1/2 can
- Morning Rolls 7
- Baguette 3 slices
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare the filling ingredients for the sandwich. Wash the red and yellow bell peppers and remove the seeds. Finely chop them into small pieces, similar in size to how you’ll chop the spring cabbage (about 0.5 cm). Finely dice the onion as well. Drain the canned corn thoroughly. These vegetables will add a wonderful freshness and texture to your sandwich.
Step 2
Now, for the star ingredient: the spring cabbage. Wash the spring cabbage leaves thoroughly and pat them dry. Then, finely chop them into small pieces, matching the size of the diced bell peppers and onion. The spring cabbage will provide a tender yet crisp bite that’s key to this sandwich.
Step 3
It’s time to make the delicious dressing! In a large bowl, combine the chopped spring cabbage, bell peppers, onion, and the drained canned corn. Add the mayonnaise, condensed milk, honey, salt, pepper, basil powder, and lemon juice. Mix everything together gently until well combined and the dressing evenly coats all the ingredients. Remember, you can substitute condensed milk and honey with sugar, and lemon juice with vinegar if needed, adjusting to your taste.
Step 4
Once the filling and dressing are perfectly mixed, it’s time to prepare the bread. If you’re using morning rolls or burger buns, here’s a great tip: place them inside a rice cooker that’s on its ‘keep warm’ setting for about 3 minutes. This will make the bread incredibly soft and fluffy, perfect for sandwich making. It’s like giving them a gentle steam!
Step 5
Let’s start with the baguette! Slice the baguette into your desired serving sizes. Generously spoon the prepared spring cabbage salad mixture onto each slice of baguette. Serve immediately. These mini baguette bites make for a fantastic appetizer or a delightful snack. The crispiness of the baguette combined with the fresh filling is truly wonderful.
Step 6
Now, for the softer rolls. Take the morning rolls or buns that you’ve warmed in the rice cooker. Slice them in half horizontally. Spread a generous amount of the spring cabbage sandwich mixture onto the bottom half of each roll. Then, simply place the top half of the roll back on to complete your sandwich. It’s that easy!
Step 7
And there you have it – a beautifully crafted Spring Cabbage Sandwich, bursting with the fresh flavors of spring! Each bite offers a delightful balance of sweetness and tanginess, with the satisfying crunch of spring cabbage, bell peppers, and onions. If spring cabbage isn’t available, feel free to use other leafy greens like lettuce, mustard greens, or even Napa cabbage. Get creative and enjoy this delicious and healthy sandwich!
