MISSION CHINESE FOOD'S CABBAGE SALAD
Danny Bowien, the chef and an owner of Mission Chinese Food in San Francisco and sometimes New York, wanted to have a Chinese version of Caesar salad on his menu. The dish that he and Angela Dimayuga, his executive chef, came up with is not Chinese in the least. Nor does it owe anything to Caesar save for a tin of anchovies. It is instead a Japanese ode to umami, the mysterious fifth flavor beyond sweet and salty, bitter and sour. Miso, tahini, soy sauce and dried seaweed provide a riot of flavors, and fried kasha and the raw vegetables provide copious crunch. Serve the dish alongside simple grilled chicken or pork, with a bowl of white rice. These don't even have to be all that good. You could serve this recipe alongside a teriyaki-glazed laptop case and receive plaudits for the meal. Don't have one of the ingredients? Omit! ''If you don't have it, leave it out,'' Bowien said in an interview. ''It still works.''

Steps:
- Cut cabbage in half, and remove core. Cut into 1-inch wedges and then into 1-inch pieces. Toss these lightly in a bowl, and set aside.
- Under running cold water, scrub beet with a vegetable brush or paper towel. Trim the beet top and beet root to provide a flat base for slicing on a mandoline. Set thickness to 1/8 inch, and slice beets into flat rounds. Season beets with half the lemon juice, and add them to the bowl with cabbage. Set aside.
- Make sesame-anchovy dressing. In a small bowl, cover hijiki with warm tap water. Allow to bloom for 15 minutes, then drain well, and season with ume vinegar or red-wine vinegar. Add miso, tahini, rice vinegar, shiro shoyu, the remaining lemon juice and the anchovies, and whisk to combine. Dressing should have a thick, almost mayonnaise-like consistency.
- Make the kasha furikake. Pour neutral oil into a sauté pan, and place over medium-high heat until it begins to shimmer. Pour kasha into the hot pan, and stir it quickly with a spoon to coat with oil. Allow kasha to fry in the oil, stirring constantly, until it has darkened by two shades of brown. Drain kasha through a fine strainer, and transfer to a plate covered by paper towel. While it is hot, season with the seaweed, which should adhere to the kasha. When it has cooled, mix kasha in a small bowl with the toasted sesame seeds and, if using, the shio kombu. Salt to taste.
- Make the salad. Add 3 tablespoons of the sesame-anchovy dressing to the bowl with the cabbage and the beets, and mix well to combine. Add more dressing if necessary. Transfer the salad to a serving bowl, and sprinkle 4 tablespoons or so of the kasha furikake over the top. (Leftover kasha furikake may be passed at the table, or saved to eat over white rice.)
"MILLION DOLLAR" CHINESE CABBAGE SALAD
This recipe is always a hit...with kids too! I used to call it my 'Million Dollar Salad' because buying the sesame seeds was so expensive. Now I buy the sesame seeds in bulk at a health food store and it's much more affordable.

CHINESE CABBAGE SALAD
A nice crunchy salad! This one is just a little different from others here on Zaar. I like using the oriental flavor of ramen noodles. Chilling time for the salad is not included in the prep or cook time.

CHINESE CABBAGE SALAD
Asian style, yummy, healthy salad. I like to make it at the beginning of the week and have it for lunch all week. I got this recipe from a friend, Margaret Weldon, as a wedding shower present. Even my husband who doesn't like vegetables, enjoyed this.

Steps:

- Pour dressing over and toss.
- Hint: If it is going to be a while before you eat the salad, wait 1 hour or later before eating to toss ingredients with dressing if you like it crunchy.
- You can also add or take away certain things.
- For example, I don't want the fat of sunflower seeds, so I take them out.
- Also, try toasting the Ramen noodles before you put them in.
- I also use less oil in the dressing.
