2 cups of very thinly sliced green or red cabbage
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
For dressing:
4 Tbsp of Korean Gochujang (sweet red chile paste) or see substitution below*

2 Tbsp sesame oil
2 Tbsp brown sugar
2 Tbsp soy sauce

Steps:

  • Make the dressing first, and set aside to let the flavors meld. Cut all the vegetables as directed and place in a large bowl.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my salad turned out really bland. I think I might have used the wrong kind of noodles.

I was hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of spicy food, but I'm so glad I did! The dressing is perfectly balanced and not too spicy at all.
