humbly, Roasted Cabbage. 🪶📜

Crunch. Crunch. Crunch.

The humble cabbage 🥬 is elevated roasted style.

A perfect pair for body-building proteins in steak or fried form.

For this first 2 tries: i sauted it, i conquered. Then i toasted it, conquered even more 😜

📝 Steps:

Wash cabbage & drain well.

1. Slice into wedges, about 3/4 inch, abd keeping the core intact so it does not fall apart.

2. Preheat toaster / oven to 200°C for 5mins.

... while oven is prepping, continue below:

3. Place into a mixing bowl, sprinkle some olive oil, dash of salt & pepper, and preferred spices.

(We added chili flakes, smoked paprika, and oregano. Make it complement the main dish. )

4. Line the oven tray with baking paper, and gently place the wedges.

5. Toast for 15minutes on each side.

Verdict:

- toasted version for the win!

- mind tho, if not toasted enough, cabbage wedges get a bit chewy in the thicker parts. If time is of no issue, then toast longer.

But you may consider jullienne & then toast for uniform texture and better bite, faster serving.

Tip: for version #2, to be or not to be... to toast, to air fry, or to bake in the oven?

Japanese potato salad, onegaishimasu!!!

Refreshing Crunch in every bite Nice touch of creamy from the potatoes and dressing Wonderful colors BEST of ALL: HEALTHY 🥗 Ingredients 3 potatoes, boiled & roughly mashed 1/2 cup of picnic ham, or 1/2 can of Spam, diced and fried. 1 cucumber, sliced 1 carrot, julienne 1/2 cup sweet corn, 1/2 cup picnic ham, diced &fried Japanese mayonnaise (*or any mayo) vinegar 1 boiled egg (optional) Salt and pepper to taste. 🥗 Steps Once the potatoes and ham are done, boiled-mashed, fried, respectively. mix altogether in a big bowl. Serve warm immediately, or it can also be served after being chilled for an hour (if in a rush 30 mins in the chiller will do.) The kids preferred without onions, so I always exclude it. Pair with some nicely fried food, like Japanese sausages, or chicken nuggets; world peace over dinner is hugely important. 💡 Inspired by: Ochikeron & Just One Cookbook
