About this dish
Leftover bossam, Korean boiled pork, gets a second life tossed with cabbage, perilla leaves, cucumber, and apple.

Instead of Korean hot mustard, the dressing uses whole-grain mustard and vinegar, which keeps the heat gentle and lets the seeds give a little pop. Apple sweetness and the minty, herbal note of perilla lighten the fatty pork, and the cabbage stays crisp when the salad goes to the table right away.
