Chinese Cabbage Experiment

More cabbage!

To start with, and an hour ahead of serving time, slice some nice juicy ginger really finely, and soak it in a glass, together with some lemon or lime juice, light soy sauce, some sugar, salt to bring out the juice, a chopped onion (and, for the expert, some orange marmalade, because the jar sitting in our fridge is still not empty...) and put it aside to soak.

Cut the cabbage, also really finely, and put it in the bowl.
Squeeze in (violently, through your own hands, come on!) a nice tomato, so it goes nice and mushy and blends in with the dressing.
You could also add some red chili or paprika to this mixture, but the cabbage should stay the main ingredient taste-wise.
Now what would really be nice with this is some roasted sesame oil.
Pour over ginger mixture and allow some marinading time before serving.
Sprinkle with some sesame seeds.
