How Do You Wash Your Cabbage?

Many of us may already had eaten cabbage as this is a common vegetable used in cooking. It is usually cooked along with other ingredients but it can also be eaten raw. However, if you are going to consume it raw, a through cleaning should be done to ensure safety. How do you wash your cabbage?

What I usually do is to remove the cabbage leaf by leaf and using a clean basin submerge the leaves into the water with a heap of salt in it. Scrub the leaves to remove the impurities and then remove them. Discard the solution and rinse the leaves. After that, I boil filtered water which will be placed in the basin and submerge the leaves in in. Leave it for a while for around 1-2 minutes and then rinse leaf by leaf in a tap/filtered water. Set aside to drain. Cut the leaves in half lengthwise or crosswise whatever you wish and then small strips. Put in a bowl and serve with roasted sesame dressing.

I finally made this delectable dish as I was craving for Yabu's cabbage side dish. This side dish is perfectly good to pair up with a fried fish which gives you off a Japanese cuisine vibe.

Did you know that eating cabbage has its own benefits? It is fully packed with vitamins and minerals and a source of prebiotic which can good for your gut health. 

Eat your leafy greens. Enjoy!
