Preparation
Step 1
Cook bacon in a single layer in a large skillet over medium heat, turning occasionally, until browned and crisp, 10–12 minutes. Transfer to paper towels and let cool.
Step 2
Meanwhile, purée olive oil, vinegar, miso, tahini, onion powder, soy sauce, sesame oil, and 2 Tbsp. water in a blender until smooth; season with salt and pepper.
Step 3
Trim top and bottom from cabbage and slice center portion into 1½"-thick rounds. Spoon 1–2 Tbsp. dressing onto each plate and top each with a cabbage round. Season cabbage lightly with salt. Drizzle 1–2 Tbsp. dressing over each and work it into the layers with the spoon. Drizzle any remaining dressing over.
Step 4
Tear bacon into large pieces and scatter over cabbage. Top with chives, mild red pepper flakes, and sesame seeds as desired.
