| Oriental Chinese cabbage Salad |
Remember how in the beginning, Charlie from and the Chocolate Factory” is really poor. A hole in the roof and everything colored gray. Things weren't looking all that bright. All his grandparents even had to sleep in the same bed in the middle of their one-roomed house! And nearly every night they ate cabbage soup, might have been lettuce soup can't really tell when vegetables have been boiled that long and are so scant. Actually it was more like cabbage water. Anyways, what Charlie needed back then (Pre- Chocolate factory that is) was someone to come in and say “Let's mix those veggies up a bit! Why not try Chinese Cabbage Salad!” It would have cheered up Charlie for one day at the least.
Oriental Chinese Cabbage salad is really fast to whip up and bursting with oriental flavor. It's crunchy and tasty! (The crunch coming from the fried noodles not so much the cabbage). It has a lemon tang which is softened by the sugar and the sesame oil gives it that natural sesame aroma. Surprisingly Chinese cabbage tastes great uncooked you'll be glad to know! Not like some other vegetables which have a tendency to taste just a tad like grass.
Chinese Cabbage
Chinese cabbage is generally available all year-round, meaning you can whip this up whenever you fancy! When choosing Chinese cabbages, choose firm, tightly packed heads with crisp, green-tipped leaves. Refrigerate, tightly wrapped, for up to 3 days. Chinese cabbage is also a good source of vitamin A, folic acid and potassium.
