The TORONTO STAR'S Marion Kane comes up with another good one "tweaked" from Chef Ming Tsai's repertoire. She suggests it as "a main course salad topped with strips of grilled or roasted chicken or steak that has been basted with teriyaki, hoisin, oyster or soy sauce." I enjoyed it on its own.

Tips:

  • Use a sharp knife or mandoline to thinly slice the cabbage and carrots. This will help them absorb the dressing better and make the slaw more crunchy.
  • If you don't have rice vinegar, you can substitute another type of vinegar, such as apple cider vinegar or white vinegar. However, rice vinegar has a milder flavor that won't overpower the other ingredients.
  • You can add other vegetables to the slaw, such as shredded red cabbage, bell pepper, or cucumber.
  • For a spicier slaw, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a teaspoon of Sriracha sauce to the dressing.
  • Serve the slaw immediately or chill it for later. It will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Asian Napa cabbage slaw is a refreshing and flavorful side dish that is perfect for summer gatherings. It is also a healthy and nutritious way to get your daily dose of vegetables. The slaw is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a new and exciting side dish, give Asian Napa cabbage slaw a try.
