I ate this a lot growing up in my parents' home! My grandma used to boil the cabbage, but I save time by microwaving.

If you're serving this to adults only, add plenty of mustard - it tastes better. !(^^)! 
My microwave is 600W. Please adjust the cabbage cooking time depending on the wattage of your microwave as well as the mount of cabbage. I think it's best if you don't over-cook the cabbage, since you can enjoy the flavor better. ♪
If you're using regular main-season cabbage, I think it's best to julienne it finely. Recipe by rie-tin

    Mix the ★ sauce ingredients together. Cut up the aburaage.
