I've raved about cabbage before but I'll enumerate again some of its awesome qualities: it is rich in vitamin C and selenium (prevents cellular damage), contains hundreds of cancer-fighting compounds, is a natural remedy for ulcers, and has calcium, iron, and folate. Plus a medium-sized head of cabbage costs less than 30 pesos. Kool, right?
For the salad, I chopped a third of the cabbage head, a small carrot, and half of a large white onion. For the dressing, I mixed about two teaspoons of muscovado sugar, about two tablespoons of cane vinegar, and a chopped sili. Why sili? Because according to Korean cooking, having all five tastes-- sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and spicy-- makes a 'complete' dish. Hot!
