    Chinese cabbage salad with basic vinegar, sesame oil, soy sauce is a very common salad in hot summers. We name it as “拌菜” which means mixing all the ingredients with simple seasoning. This should be something originated from Northern China, but enjoys a high popularity in different places.

    The ingredients that can be used in this salad is customizable, usually cabbage, purple cabbage, cherry tomatoes, cucumber and bell peppers are quite common ingredients. But you can add some noodles, spinach, zucchini or other vegetables you like.

    For the cabbage part, there are two ways to deal with them: one is to blend in boiling water for just 10 minutes and the other is to pickle with salt for around 30 minutes. Either way is great! Chinese people usually do not eat raw food. However you can directly mixing the season soy with the raw veggies.

    If you do not have rice vinegar at hand, you can just replace it with fresh lemon juice.
