- ¼ cup neutral flavoured oil
- 2 tablespoons caster sugar
- 2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds, plus extra to garnish
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- ½ teaspoon celery salt
- 2-3 spring onions, thinly sliced on the diagonal, optional
Instructions
- Very finely shred the green cabbage using a mandolin, vegetable peeler, or a sharp knife. Place it in a large bowl.
- Add the white vinegar, oil, sugar, toasted sesame seeds, sesame oil and celery salt to a screw-top jar. Shake until well combined and the sugar has dissolved. You can also whisk the dressing in a bowl if preferred.
- Pour the dressing over the cabbage and add sliced spring green onions if using. Toss until evenly coated.
- Garnish with extra toasted sesame seeds and serve immediately.
Notes
- Measurements: We use Australian metic measurements. 1 teaspoon equals 5ml, 1 tablespoon equals 20ml and 1 cup equals 250ml.
- Shred it fine: Finely shredded cabbage gives the best texture and absorbs the dressing better
- Dress before serving: Add the dressing just before serving for best results.
- Use neutral oil: Canola, vegetable, rice bran, or avocado oil all work well. You can however also use a light olive oil, but do not use extra virgin. Its too strong in flavour.
- Boost flavour :Add sliced spring onions for extra freshness and colour.
