Steps

1. Rinse the cabbage and pat it dry.
   🕒 02:25
2. Finely shred the cabbage into 3-5mm thick strips. Discard the tough core and cut against the grain for a softer texture. (Key tip! Cutting against the grain allows the flavors to meld better and results in a tender texture.) (02:49, 07:32)
   🕒 02:32
3. If there are any tough, thick core parts, slice them thinly.
   🕒 03:06
4. Place the cut cabbage (350g) into a large bowl.
   🕒 03:19
5. Sprinkle salt (1/2 tsp) over the cabbage and gently rub it in to coat evenly.
   🕒 03:25
6. Let the salted cabbage sit for about 5 minutes.
   🕒 03:52
7. After 5 minutes, firmly squeeze out the moisture from the cabbage and clean the bowl. (Key tip! Squeezing out the moisture prevents the salad from becoming watery, removes any bitterness, and helps it absorb the dressing better.) (05:57, 07:42, 07:47)
   🕒 05:50
8. Return the squeezed cabbage to a clean bowl.
   🕒 06:19
9. Trim the core from the onion and slice it thinly.
   🕒 03:58
10. Add the sliced onion (1/4) to the bowl.
    🕒 04:09
11. Drizzle vinegar (1 tbsp) over the onion and mix to coat. (Key tip! Soaking the onion in vinegar quickly removes its pungent flavor.) (04:20, 08:05)
    🕒 04:14
12. Let the onion soak for 5 to 10 minutes.
    🕒 04:35
13. Take the crab sticks (5) out of the package and tear them into bite-sized pieces.
    🕒 04:42
14. In a separate bowl, combine [A] miso (1/2 tsp), [A] kombu tea (1/3 tsp), and [A] yogurt (1 tbsp). Mix well until the miso is fully dissolved and there are no lumps. (Key tip! To ensure the dressing is smooth without lumps of miso, mix the miso, kombu tea, and yogurt first before adding other seasonings. This results in a consistently flavored dressing.) (05:00, 07:53, 08:01)
    🕒 04:58
15. Once the kombu tea is dissolved, add [A] honey (1 tsp) and mix well.
    🕒 05:31
16. Add [A] mayonnaise (2 tbsp) and [A] sesame oil (1/2 tbsp), and mix thoroughly until everything is evenly combined.
    🕒 05:39
17. To the bowl of cabbage, add the soaked onion (including the vinegar), corn (50g), shredded crab sticks, and the prepared dressing. Toss well to combine everything evenly.
    🕒 06:27
18. Once everything is uniformly mixed, your coleslaw is ready! Garnish with black pepper to your liking.
