"Idealist: One who, on noticing that a rose smells better than a cabbage, concludes that it will also make better soup." -H.L Mencken, Journalist
This is a simple recipe, but oh so flavorful.
It will go with almost any Asian style meal that you choose as a side dish. It is a little better if you can find spicy Thai basil.
Both large bok choy and baby bok choy work for this salad. The larger cabbage has a little coarser texture and the leaves are slightly more bitter, which sets off the saltiness and sweetness of the dressing well. You can also use thinly sliced napa cabbage for this salad.
