Shred napa cabbage, lightly salt it, and squeeze out the water. Then, mix with tuna and seasonings for a simple side dish. Top with a runny onsen tamago (hot spring egg) for a "devilishly delicious" braised napa cabbage that's perfect with rice or as a snack. Its addictive flavor will keep you coming back for more.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients (2 servings)

  • Napa Cabbage 400g
  • Canned Tuna 1 can
  • Egg 1
  • Green Onions (chopped)
  • Nori (seaweed) 1/4 sheet

Seasonings

  • Salt 1/2 tsp
  • Toasted Sesame Seeds 2 tbsp
  • Sesame Oil 1 tbsp
  • Chinese Soup Paste (Shantan) 2/3 tsp
  • Toasted Sesame Seeds (for garnish)
  • Chili Oil (to taste)
  • Water 3 tbsp

Steps

  1. Slice 400g of Napa Cabbage in half lengthwise, then shred into 3-5mm thick strips.
  2. Place the shredded cabbage in a bowl, add 1/2 tsp of Salt, and mix well.
  3. Place a weight on top of the bowl with the massaged cabbage and let it sit for 20-30 minutes. (Key Tip!) Letting it sit until the cabbage wilts and releases its water will make it easier to squeeze out.
  4. Once the cabbage has wilted and released water, firmly squeeze out the moisture by hand.
  5. Transfer the squeezed cabbage to a bowl. Add 1 can of drained Canned Tuna, 2 tbsp of Toasted Sesame Seeds, 1 tbsp of Sesame Oil, and 2/3 tsp of Chinese Soup Paste (Shantan). Mix everything well.
  6. Plate the mixed cabbage.
  7. Sprinkle chopped Green Onions and Toasted Sesame Seeds over the plated cabbage.
  8. Drizzle with Chili Oil if desired.
  9. Tear 1/4 sheet of Nori into small pieces and scatter over the dish.
  10. Crack 1 Egg into a microwave-safe container and add 3 tbsp of Water.
  11. Make a small hole in the egg yolk with a toothpick and microwave on 600W for about 50 seconds. (Key Tip!) Heat until the egg yolk is cooked and it becomes an onsen tamago.
  12. Discard any excess water from the cooked onsen tamago and place it in the center of the cabbage.
