For the salad
- 5 cup shredded purple cabbage
- 1 medium carrot, cut into matchsticks
- 1 potato, cut into matchsticks
- 1 scallion, cut into thin strips
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
- a few tablespoons chopped cilantro (optional)
- In a large bowl, combine the cabbage and carrots. Rinse the potato sticks in cold water to remove some of the starch and use a kitchen towel to dry them really well. Do the same with the scallion. In a shallow pan, fry the scallions and potatoes in oil until crisp. Drain on paper towels.
For the dressing
- 1/2 tbsp honey
- 1/2 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp oil
- 11/2 tbsp rice wine vinegar
- 1/4 tsp garlic power
- salt, to taste
- pinch of ground cumin
- pinch of five spice powder
- Combine all the dressing ingredients and toss with the cabbage and carrots. Put the salad in a bowl. Garnish with sesame seeds, cilantro, and the fried potatoes and scallions. Serve!
