How to Make Hot And Sour Cabbage Salad

  1. Thinly slice 1 small head of green cabbage and finely chop 2 scallions. Set aside in a large bowl.
  2. In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup rice vinegar, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons sugar, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 1 teaspoon chili garlic sauce (or to taste), and 1/4 cup water. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
  3. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until the sugar is completely dissolved. Stir occasionally.
  4. Pour the hot dressing over the cabbage and scallions. Toss gently to ensure the cabbage is evenly coated.
  5. Allow the salad to sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. This step is optional but recommended.
  6. Serve immediately and enjoy this refreshing and flavorful side dish!
