When I am mentally or physically very tired, I often have a craving for a dish called ‘Namasu’ that is vinegared vegetables and most commonly Daikon and Carrot are used. http://www.hirokoliston.com/daikon-carrot-namasu/

When I didn’t have Daikon, I used Red Cabbage instead. The result was really refreshing, and very pretty as well.

Steps

1

Thinly slice Red Cabbage.
2

Peel and slice Carrot into 2 to 3mm thin strips. I usually use a slicer. If you cut by knife, slice them diagonally 2 to 3mm thin, then cut into 2 to 3mm strips.
3

Mix Vinegar, Sugar and Salt, add vegetables and mix well. Set aside for about ten minutes to let it well seasoned. Sprinkle some Toasted Sesame Seeds on top and serve.
