Author Notes
I love this simple coleslaw that I created using asian flavor ingredients and spices. You can add other vegetables to this coleslaw as the seasons offer fresh vegetables for you to enjoy. —cucina di mammina

Ingredients
-
1/4 cup
rice vinegar
-
1 to 1 1/2 tablespoons
low sodium soy sauce
-
3/4 cup
vegetable oil
-
1 teaspoon
toasted sesame oil
-
1/2 to 3/4 tablespoons
fresh ginger, grated
-
1
clove fresh garlic, chopped finely
-
dash of Sriracha chili sauce (to taste)
-
ground black pepper (to taste)
-
1
head of red cabbage
-
1
head of white cabbage
-
1
large carrot (peeled and grated)
-
2-3
persian or small seedless cucumbers (peel on) chopped
-
1
small daikon radish (cut into thin strips)
-
prepared seaweed salad (I get this at my local grocer (I like to serve this along with the coleslaw)
Directions
-
To make the dressing, place the first eight ingredients in a glass or stainless steel bowl and whisk them together thoroughly.
-
You can choose to mix the ingredients in a blender for about 10 seconds until fully combined.
-
Transfer to a large bowl and let stand, covered, for 30 minutes to let the flavors combine naturally.
-
Makes approximately 1 cup of vinaigrette (save extra dressing for future salads or to marinate chicken or meat for grilling)
-
Wash and shred the red cabbage and white cabbage by hand or with a food processor.
You can use as much cabbage as you wish to serve, I usually use about half the white cabbage and less than half of the red cabbage as they tend to be larger.
-
Place the shredded cabbage in a large deep bowl, add the shredded carrot, chopped cucumbers and sliced daikon radish and mix well.
-
Dress with the vinaigrette to your taste a few minutes prior to serving to allow the flavors to combine well. You can sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds if desired.
-
Serve along with the prepared seaweed salad I love this as a delicious side dish to my asian chicken patties and vegetable rice cakes.
