This Very Specific Veggie Method Is Becoming Wildly Popular In The US (Though It's Been A Staple In Japan For Forever)
This might be an unpopular opinion, but I think cabbage is one of the most seriously underrated vegetables of all time. It's so versatile, nutritious, and not to love? So, when I saw a super viral dish called Yamitsuki Cabbage making its rounds on TikTok, I knew I had to try it. Yamitsuki literally translates to "addictive" in Japanese, which is why it's commonly referred to as "Addictive Cabbage." The clip from @elanneboake has nearly three million views, and fellow cabbage enthusiasts are commenting on how great the recipe is. It felt like a no-brainer to make it for my next dinner side dish. Yamitsuki Cabbage is nothing new, and it graces the menu of nearly every Japanese Izakaya (gastropub). It's yet another recipe that has been around for ages and is suddenly becoming popular thanks to TikTok (similar to cucumber and carrot salads). Here's my honest review of the dish and how I made it: I followed this recipe from Just One Cookbook. First, I gathered my ingredients. I bought a cabbage I found at my local Japanese grocery store, salt, garlic, white sesame seeds, sesame oil, and dried salted kombu (edible kelp). Per the recipe, you could use any umami-boosting seasoning of your choice in place of the kombu. Options include shio koji, chicken bouillon, katsuobushi, dashi powder, or hondashi. After measuring two tablespoons of sesame seeds, I smashed them using the back of a spoon. The recipe recommends using a mortar and pestle for this part, so I'd suggest sticking to that if you have one. Once the sesame seeds were sufficiently ground, I set them aside and minced two cloves of garlic using a garlic press, setting that aside as well. Next, I halved the cabbage. After coring both halves, I loosely chopped each into one-inch pieces. Some pieces were smaller than others, but oh well. Hey, you! Wanna cook 7,500+ recipes in step-by-step mode (with helpful videos) right from your phone? Download the free Tasty app right now. After the cabbage was cut, I placed the pieces in a bowl and gave them a rinse, ensuring the bowl was drained of all its water. Then, I measured four cups of the cabbage pieces back into a dry bowl, trying to pack as much cabbage into each cup. Next, I added half a teaspoon of salt to the cabbage. I also added half a teaspoon of the dried salted kombu and then used tongs to mix it all. Ideally, I would've had a large bowl for this, but I made do with what I had. Finally, I added two tablespoons of sesame oil to the crushed garlic, mixed it, and added it to the cabbage. After a final mix, I was done! I topped it off with some of the ground sesame seeds from earlier. After taking the first bite, I could completely understand the hype. If you love the taste of sesame oil, you'll be obsessed with this. It has a rich, slightly salty umami flavor, and the crunch of the cabbage makes you want to keep eating. The ground-up sesame seeds also added a nice, subtle nuttiness, and the chewiness of the kombu was the perfect touch to the entire dish. I swear, I finished the entire bowl in less than five minutes. My only note was that I should have cut the kombu into smaller pieces, so it was more evenly distributed, but everything else was perfect. It wasn't too salty or too crunchy, either. In fact, after a few minutes, the cabbage marinated in the sesame oil and became the perfect cross between soft and crisp. I'd definitely make this again and recommend it to anyone who likes the taste of sesame. Because it's so easy to make, I could see this becoming one of my regular dinner additions (paired with Japanese fried chicken and rice, of course). Have you tried Yamitsuki Cabbage?

Most people make these cleaning and organizing mistakes without even realizing it: ‘These behaviors keep clutter coming back'
When it comes to organizing and cleaning — there's a certain knack to it. And while some people love nothing more than having a mop or Swiffer in hand to go to town cleaning and putting things away — others can't be bothered and do the bare minimum. Luckily there are people like Lesley Spellman, a decluttering expert, co-founder of The Declutter Hub and co-author of the new book Reset Your Home: Unpack Your Emotions and Your Clutter, Step by Step, whose job is to literally help guide lost cleaners in figuring out how to best arrange and tidy up their homes — and lives. Tackling a giant mess can feel overwhelming if you don't know where to start. Getty Images She told the Daily Mail in an interview that most people's habits 'quietly sabotage' their 'efforts to get organized.' 'Whether it's underestimating how long the job will take, flitting (moving swiftly) between rooms without finishing anything, or letting 'stuff' take center stage instead of addressing the emotions behind it, these are the behaviors that keep clutter coming back,' shared the expert. Spellman said the first mistake she sees most people make is not coming up with a game plan before tackling a mess head-on. As the saying goes, fail to prepare — prepare to fail. 'All good projects need a plan. [Ask yourself], what equipment do you need? How much time do you have? How much energy do you have?' she told the outlet. Being overly ambitious and feeling the need to buy organizing bins or supplies before assessing the mess at hand is another common thing inexperienced organizers do. 'Most of the time we have more than enough storage in our homes, we just have too much stuff,' she explained. Having a game plan is recommended by the expert. Jasmin Merdan – 'You need to declutter first, work out where you want to have something and then decide on what box to buy to either containerize, make it pretty, or both.' The expert recommended using empty boxes lying around your home as temporary storage until you find better solutions. Spellman also advises against tackling the messiest area of your room first — something many people think is the best strategy. 'When we think about the decluttering projects that need to be done in our homes, our minds always go to the hardest things,' she said. 'We need to build up our decluttering muscle by tackling easy things first. Then the tough rooms can happen further into the process.' In addition to Spellman's helpful tips, a professional organizer on TikTok swears by a decluttering rule that supposedly only takes three seconds. 'All I want you to do, is you're gonna make a decision on each pair,' @kayleenkellyorganize said. 'It's either a yes, you keep it, or no, it goes. But if you hesitate [for more than three seconds], it's an automatic keep.' 'If you feel like you have to try them on before you decide, just put it in your 'keep' pile and we'll circle back around,' the organizer explained. Anything to keep your life more organized and sane, right?
