SAIGON CHICKEN COLE SLAW



Saigon Chicken Cole Slaw image

My wife and I fell in love with this slaw years ago when it was served in a local Viet restaurant which has long since closed. After our son chose a Vietnamese wife, we were delighted to find that it is as common in Vietnam as cole slaw is here. Not only that but she had her great grandmother's recipe. Somehow I think this one is authentic. It goes well with almost anything, or as a meal in it's own right, or maybe with a Viet spring roll on the side.

Tips:

  • To save time, use a pre-shredded coleslaw mix. You can find this in the produce section of most grocery stores.
  • If you don't have rice vinegar, you can substitute white vinegar. However, rice vinegar has a milder flavor, so you may want to use a little less of it.
  • If you don't have sesame seeds, you can omit them or substitute another type of seed, such as poppy seeds or sunflower seeds.
  • For a spicier slaw, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or Sriracha sauce to the dressing.
  • This slaw can be served immediately or chilled for later. If you're serving it chilled, let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before serving.

Conclusion:

Asian chicken coleslaw is a refreshing and flavorful side dish that's perfect for summer gatherings. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a light and healthy side dish, give this Asian chicken coleslaw a try!
