Main Ingredients- 1/2 head of spring cabbage
- 1 pack of chicken breast (approx. 100-150g)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Shall we begin the first step to making a delicious and healthy spring cabbage and chicken breast salad? Preparing fresh ingredients is the start of the joy.
Step 2
Wash the spring cabbage thoroughly under running water. It’s important to rinse it carefully to remove any dirt or debris. Shake off excess water, then chop it into bite-sized pieces (about 3-4 cm wide) and place it in a bowl. Chopping it slightly thicker than very thin will preserve its crisp texture.
Step 3
Now it’s time to make the delicious salad dressing. In a small bowl, add 3 tablespoons of soy sauce. It’s best to use regular soy sauce, which has a moderate savory and sweet flavor, rather than soup soy sauce.
Step 4
Add 1 tablespoon of vinegar to add a tangy flavor. You can use your preferred vinegar, such as brown rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar. If you like it tangier, you can add a little more.
Step 5
Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil for added flavor. Using extra virgin olive oil will enhance the aromatic notes. You can also use canola oil or grapeseed oil instead of olive oil.
Step 6
Add 2 tablespoons of oligosaccharide for sweetness. If you don’t have oligosaccharide, you can substitute it with honey or sugar, but oligosaccharide provides a subtle sweetness that complements the salad well.
Step 7
Add 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds to the dressing ingredients and stir with a fork or spoon until all ingredients are well combined. Lightly crushing the sesame seeds will enhance their nutty flavor. Taste the dressing and adjust the sweetness or tanginess to your preference.
Step 8
Add the prepared dressing to the spring cabbage and gently toss. The trick is to toss gently so as not to mash the spring cabbage. Now, plate it nicely. If you prefer, you can boil or grill the chicken breast, shred or cut it into bite-sized pieces, and top the salad with it. This completes your fresh and satisfying spring cabbage and chicken breast salad! Enjoy your meal!
