The basic Numa-san and the avocado Numa-san

Directions

1. Cut the cabbage and onion into thin slices. Cut away the core of the cabbage first, and cut it thinner than the leaves. Do not immerse the onions in water, but pat both the cabbage and onion dry with a paper towel. When adding pickles or olives, mince these ingredients beforehand.

   

2. On a slice of bread, place one slice of cheese and top it with bacon.

   

3. Toast the other bare slice and the slice from step 2.

   

4. When toasted, spread mustard on the bare slice. This will act as an adhesive, so make sure to spread the mustard to all corners of the bread.

   

5. ＜For avocado Numa-san＞Mix the peeled and mashed avocado with mayonnaise and black pepper.

   

6. Add mayonnaise and black pepper to step 1, and mix immediately. When adding pickles or olives, add them at this step. ＜For avocado Numa-san＞ Add step 5 as well, and mix the entire batch immediately.

   

7. Place ingredients from step 6 onto the bread from step 4. Add the mixture evenly to all corners of the bread before creating a mountain in the center.

   

8. Top with the bread slice with bacon and cheese.

   

9. Press down firmly. Use both hands to press evenly, and press until the sandwich does not yield any longer. Use a utensil such as a butter knife to push in any cabbage protruding from the sides.

   

10. Cut the sandwich against how the bacon was laid, cutting straight down with the knife to cut in half with one stroke. Arrange the sandwich with the cross section visible, and serve.
