ASIAN STYLE SLAW



Asian Style Slaw image

I always like to have a few salads at my BBQ to balance out the heavier stuff. Cole slaw is one of the classics, and I love it, but I like to make it my own by mixing in a few Asian flavors. I use the pre-shredded coleslaw mix that comes in bags at the supermarket or for red and green shredded cabbage packaged separately. And then I dress it up with some other fresh ingredients to make an outstanding and different kind of slaw.

Time 10m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 bunch (6 large) scallions, trimmed and thinly sliced
2 (16-ounce) bags coleslaw mix or 1 (16-ounce) bag each of shredded green and shredded red cabbage
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger (from about a 1-inch piece)
2 tablespoons white vinegar
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
2 teaspoons Asian sesame oil
2 teaspoons sesame seeds, optional
1 teaspoon salt
20 grinds black pepper

Steps:

  • Rough up the scallion slices a little with your fingers so all the little layers of the scallion whites separate. Toss the coleslaw mix or both kinds of cabbage, the red onion and scallions together in a large bowl until everything is thoroughly mixed. You can make the slaw up to this point up to a day in advance as long as you keep it refrigerated. Before serving, simply bring the slaw back to room temperature, make the dressing and toss.
  • Stir the remaining ingredients together in a small bowl until blended, then pour over the vegetables. Serve within 1 hour of dressing or the cabbage will get wilty and sad.

SWEET & TANGY ASIAN SLAW



Sweet & Tangy Asian Slaw image

A delicious sweet and tangy slaw recipe. It pairs perfectly with grilled fish, adds crunch and flavor to sandwiches, and gives salads that extra flavor punch.

Provided by Laurel

Categories     Sides

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 1/2 tablespoons gluten-free soy sauce or tamari
2 teaspoons sesame oil
2 teaspoons unrefined sucanat sugar
1 clove garlic
1 tablespoon minced ginger
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes ((more or less to taste))
1 large or 2 medium carrots
1/2 medium kohlrabi
1 medium granny smith apple
3 scallions
1 1/2 cups shredded purple cabbage
1/4 cup cilantro (, loosely packed)

Steps:

  • To prepare the dressing combine the olive oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, sucanat sugar, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes in a jar with a screw top lid. Shake vigorously to combine. Set aside.
  • To prepare the carrots slice them into thirds widthwise. Slice each third into 1/8 inch strips. Next, slice these strips into 1/8 inch match sticks. Repeat with the remaining carrots. The end result should be long and skinny strips of carrot. Add to a large bowl.
  • Next, slice the kohlrabi in half. Reserve the other half for another use. Using a paring knife, peel the kohlrabi half needed for this recipe. Lay the kohlrabi cut side down and slice it into 1/8 inch thick slices. Slice these pieces into 1/8 inch matchsticks. The kohlrabi should end up being a similar shape and size as the carrots. Add to the bowl with the carrots.
  • For the apple will want to cut each side off the core. Discard the core and lay each piece cut side down. Cut the apple pieces into 1/8 inch slices. Cut each of these slices into 1/8 inch matchsticks. The apple should look like the carrot and kohlrabi strips. Place into the bowl with the carrot and kohlrabi.
  • Slice the scallions into thin rounds on the bias (which simply means on an angle) and add them to the bowl. Add in the shredded purple cabbage and the dressing. Toss to combine. Serve immediately or allow the flavors to develop by leaving the slaw in the fridge for 1-4 hours before serving.
