  2. Step 2:

    Step 2

    Peel the carrot and garlic, and remove the damaged tough outer leaves from the napa cabbage. Drain the liquid from the canned corn. Rinse all the vegetables under cold running water.

  3. Step 3:

    Step 3

    Cut the napa cabbage into thin strips. Put it in a large cup, salad bowl, or bowl.

  4. Step 4:

    Step 4

    Grate the carrot on a coarse grater and add it to the cabbage. You can use a julienne (Korean-salad) grater so the carrot looks more appetizing.

  5. Step 5:

    Grate the smoked cheese as well and add it to the salad bowl.

  6. Step 6:

    Step 6

    Add the canned corn to everything else.

  7. Step 7:

    Step 7

    Just the finishing touches left. Grate the garlic on a fine grater or press it through a garlic press. Add the garlic and mayonnaise to the salad bowl. You can add more mayonnaise if you like.

  9. Step 9:

    Step 9

    The salad is ready to serve! Sprinkle with coarsely chopped herbs and ground pepper if you like.
