Pressed Cabbage Salad

/

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 large head green cabbage (about 1 1/4 pounds)

  • 2 Tablespoons rice vinegar

  • 2 TBS soy sauce

  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil

  • 1 TBS Szechwan Peppercorns (or substitute ground pepper)


Directions:

Slice cabbage into crosswise strips (as thin as possible) - about 6 cups. Combine all ingredients - toss. Fill a gallon-sized ziplock plastic bag on top of the cabbage and let stand for 1 hour. Remove the weight, toss gently, and weight again until cabbage has wilted, about 1 hour more. Discard the weight. Serve as is or refrigerate for up to several days.
