Korean Cabbage Salad
This crisp Korean salad combines thinly sliced cabbage and radish with a simple, flavourful dressing. The key is a toasted sesame seed paste, which can be made fresh or substituted with Chinese sesame paste for convenience. It comes together in about 10 minutes for a refreshing side dish that serves four people.
