CHINESE NAPA CABBAGE SALAD (GLUTEN-FREE)



Chinese Napa Cabbage Salad (Gluten-Free) image

This recipe was inspired by California Pizza Kitchen's Chinese Chicken Salad. I made it gluten-free and eliminated the chicken, but if you eat chicken, you can add a barbecued chicken on top and make it a main dish. When you chop an entire napa cabbage, it may seem like a lot, but once you add the dressing, it wilts down. I used both black and white sesame seeds, but if you have only one kind, you can just double the amount.

Asian Steak Salad with Cucumber and Napa Cabbage image

FLAVOR BOOSTER Toasted sesame oil, used in many Asian dishes, has a robust and nutty taste. Combined with rice vinegar, lime juice, garlic, and red-pepper flakes, it multitasks in this recipe as both marinade and salad dressing.

Yield serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup fresh lime juice (from about 2 limes)
1/4 cup rice vinegar (unseasoned)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, such as safflower
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
1 garlic clove, smashed and peeled
1 pound flank steak
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/2 head napa cabbage (1 pound), thinly sliced crosswise
1 English cucumber, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced on the diagonal
1/4 cup coarsely chopped unsalted roasted peanuts

Steps:

  • Heat broiler, with rack 4 inches from heat. In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, vinegar, both oils, red-pepper flakes, and garlic.
  • Pierce steak all over with a fork; place in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour soy sauce and half of lime-juice mixture over steak (reserve remaining half for dressing), and marinate at room temperature, 10 minutes (or up to 1 day, covered, in the refrigerator).
  • Lift steak from marinade (discard marinade), and place on a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet. Broil, without turning, 8 to 10 minutes for medium-rare. Remove from broiler; tent with foil and let rest 5 to 10 minutes before slicing thinly on the diagonal, against the grain.
