Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients: 250 g White cabbage; 100 g Carrot; 25 g Scallion; 25 ml Lime juice; 15 ml Soy sauce; 10 ml Toasted sesame oil; 10 ml Olive oil

A small piece of cabbage left after dinner can become a crisp side with carrot and a lime-sesame dressing. Cut it into fine shreds rather than broad strips: the brief rest softens thin cabbage a little, but it cannot do the work of a long braise.

Storage

Keep assembled portions covered and refrigerated until serving. Follow the labels and handling guidance for the perishable ingredients; a reminder date does not establish a new storage life.

For perishable foods and leftovers, U.S. FDA guidance calls for prompt refrigeration, no more than two hours at room temperature (one hour above 32°C/90°F), and a refrigerator at or below 4°C/40°F. Follow the product label and local guidance. Smell and appearance alone cannot establish safety.

FDA handling and storage conditions

Ingredient substitution

Green and red cabbage may exchange at the same 250 g trimmed weight when finely shredded. Red cabbage colors the dressing and is often firmer; let texture, not only resting time, guide serving.
