I accidentally bought two cabbages. Now we have A LOT of cabbage to eat. We had this cabbage salad with dinner tonight. It was a big hit. Even the Kidlet liked it.

¹ I had "mixed sesame paste", which is a mix of toasted sesame seeds and roasted peanuts. If you don't have any sesame paste, you can toast and grind some sesame seeds yourself. Alternatively, a good quality natural peanut butter (with no added sugar or salt) will also work. ^Back
