Scrunched Cabbage Salad with Fried Almonds – NY Times Cooking
Ingredients
- ½head green cabbage, tough outer leaves discarded (about 1 pound)
- Salt and black pepper
- 2scallions, thinly sliced
- ¼cup picked dill
- 3tablespoons lemon juice (from 1 small lemon), or more to taste
- 1small garlic clove, finely grated
- ½teaspoon granulated sugar, or more to taste
- 3tablespoons olive oil
- ¼cup chopped raw almonds
- 1tablespoon sesame seeds
Instructions
- Cut cabbage half in half again through the core, then cut out and discard the core and any very tough ribs. Separate the leaves and tear or cut them into 2- or 3-inch pieces. In a large bowl, toss cabbage and 1 teaspoon salt with your hands until salt dissolves and cabbage begins to feel wet, about 2 minutes. Scrunch the leaves, firmly squeezing and massaging until they’re very tender and juicy, another 1 to 2 minutes. The leaves will appear glossy and slightly translucent. Pour out any liquid.
- Add scallions, dill, lemon juice, garlic, sugar, 2 tablespoons olive oil and freshly ground black pepper to taste; toss thoroughly to combine. Taste and adjust salt, pepper, lemon juice and sugar if you’d like, then transfer to a serving dish and set aside.
- Heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium skillet over medium. Add almonds and stir until light gold, about 2 minutes. Add sesame seeds and continue to stir until toasted, about 30 seconds. Season with a generous pinch of salt, spoon the mixture over the salad and serve.
Japanese Sweet Potato Oven Fries with Wasabi Aioli – The Bojon Gourmet
White sweet potatoes seasoned with sesame, nori, togarashi, and scallions make an addictive and easy-peasy snack.
Ingredients
Fries:
- 2 medium Japanese sweet potatoes (around 700 g), scrubbed and cut into 1/2-inch thick matchsticks
- 3 tablespoons (45 g) sunflower oil (or other neutral vegetable oil)
- 1 teaspoon brown sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon black sesame seeds
- 3/8 teaspoon fine sea salt
- a few pinches togarashi or cayenne powder (optional – for spiciness)
- 3 nori crisps (such as Gimme brand, 2×3″ each), slivered
- dark green part of 1-2 scallions, slivered
Aioli:
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) good mayonnaise (such as Spectrum Olive Oil)
- ½ teaspoon wasabi paste (more to taste)
- squeeze lemon juice
Instructions
- Position a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 425ºF.
- Place the sweet potato matchsticks on a large, rimmed baking sheet and sprinkle with the oil, sesame seeds, and salt, tossing well to coat. Spread in a single layer and bake 10-15 minutes until golden on the bottom; they should release from the pan fairly easily using a thin metal spatula once they’ve developed some color. Flip the slices over and cook until golden all over, 5-10 more minutes. Sprinkle with a bit of togarashi if using (a little goes a long way!), and the slivered nori and scallion.
- Meanwhile, make the aioli by stirring together the mayonnaise, wasabi, and lemon juice, adding more wasabi to taste if you like.
- Serve the fries hot with the aioli for dipping.
