SAKU SAKU CABBAGE WITH SHICHIMI MISO DIP

This recipe, inspired by the appetizer served at Japanese Izakaya (like a pub), is a satisfying combination of creamy and crunchy textures, with both savory and sweet elements. Saku Saku cabbage is intended for raw eating and this dish perfectly highlights its incredibly crisp, refreshing eating quality with a salty, savory dip. It’s the perfect snack, side dish or appetizer.
