It may not sound very exciting, but this simple side dish can take your tonkatsu game to the next level when it’s made well. The trick is to use the sweet and tender inner leaves of a head of cabbage and soak them in water first to get them nice and crisp. Then, you want to remove the tough stems and roll them up before using a sharp knife to thinly shred. I’ve [posted a recipe](https://norecipes.com/japanese-cabbage-salad/) with step-by-step photos if you need more details.
It reminds me of the commercials in between the kewpie 3 minute cooking segment lol
My favorite salad is cabbage salad with miso sesame dressing
I use my Benreiner. I don’t trust my knife skills. Lol
