A delightful and quick-to-make warm cabbage salad with a sesame-soy flavor profile.
Chop the savoy cabbage into thin strips and slice the red bell pepper into thin strips.
Ensure the vegetables are evenly sliced for uniform cooking.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the cabbage, bell pepper, and scallions.
Mix gently to avoid bruising the vegetables.
Add the soy sauce, salt, and crushed red pepper flakes to the bowl and mix well.
Taste the dressing before adding to adjust seasoning if needed.
Microwave the bowl on high for 3 minutes, stirring halfway through.
Cover the bowl with a microwave-safe lid to retain moisture.
Let the bowl sit for 1 minute before carefully removing the lid.
Use oven mitts to handle the hot bowl safely.
Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds over the dish before serving.
For a more pronounced sesame flavor, add a drizzle of sesame oil.
