I received spring cabbage as a gift.

The Japanese leek is optional. You could also use store-bought grated garlic and tubed ginger.
You don't need to grind anything if you use ground sesame seeds. I recommend you don't overcook the bean sprouts for a crunchy finish. For 2 servings. Recipe by akishin
