Chinese cabbage salad with Korean carrots and cilantro can rightfully be called one of the simplest cold appetizers suitable for vegetarian and lean menus. How to cook it, we will find out in a step-by-step recipe with a photo. Video recipe.
In winter, when the leaves of fresh white cabbage become rough, they are perfectly replaced by tender Peking cabbage. Light green, elongated and loose leaves of Peking cabbage are most delicious raw. Many different dishes are made from them, but salads are mainly prepared. Peking leaves should be used completely, to the last centimeter. Indeed, the denser part contains the largest amount of all nutrients.
Delicate and crunchy cabbage leaves are complemented with different products and seasoned with all kinds of additives. Korean carrots and cilantro are ideal additions to salads with Chinese cabbage. It is this combination of products that I propose to cook today. The salad will have a refined taste and a more pleasant aroma. Although, if desired, you can supplement the composition with any products to your liking. For example, corn will soften the taste of salad, make chicken fillet satiety, saturate cheese, and Korean carrots give a spicy and pungent taste. You can also add to the composition: meat, chicken, canned fish, seafood, corn, peas, etc. So you can experiment and find your ideal one.
