I mixed cabbage with tuna mayo, which kids love. It's lower in calories than potato salad but still satisfying!

The origin of this recipe: I wanted my younger daughter, who dislikes vegetables, to eat cabbage.

Wash the cabbage and cut it into slightly thick strips.
2

Place in a microwave-safe container and microwave at 600W for about 2 minutes. (The image shows it in a 946ml Ziploc container.)
3

Remove from the microwave and let it cool until you can squeeze it by hand. (If the cabbage is still hard, microwave a bit longer as needed.)
4

Combine the squeezed cabbage, drained tuna, granulated dashi, and mayonnaise in a container and mix.
5

It's ready! You can enjoy it immediately or let it sit for a while to let the flavors meld.

The napa cabbage version turned out delicious too! Substitute cabbage with napa cabbage, tuna with bonito flakes, and add dried hijiki. Feel free to mix and match as you like.
