CRISPY GINGER SLAW

Crispy Ginger Slaw image

I never thought that I like slaw until I went to a fish taco joint in San Diego, and they served a vinegar based slaw with their tacos. I've been hooked ever since. This recipe comes from a Junior League cookbook that I've had for years, and I still love it. If you're tired of mayo slaw, or you're just ready to try something new, this is the recipe for you. The dressing can (and should) be made ahead, but to keep the salad crispy, toss with the vegetables at the last minute. Prep time does not include chilling time.

Time 10m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

2 cups napa cabbage, shredded (or regular green cabage)
1 cup carrot, shredded
1 cup snow peas, slivered
2 tablespoons cilantro (optional)
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup rice vinegar
3 tablespoons sesame oil
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons mirin
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
1 tablespoon lime juice (fresh is best)
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Steps:

Make the dressing.
Combine all of the dressing ingredients in a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate for several hours, or overnight.
In a serving bowl, combine cabbage, carrots, and snow peas.
Add dressing and toss to coat all of the vegetables.
Top with cilantro (if using).
Serve immediately!

Tips:

Use a mandoline or sharp knife to thinly slice the cabbage and carrots. This will help them cook evenly and absorb the dressing better.
If you don't have a mandoline or sharp knife, you can use a food processor to shred the cabbage and carrots. Just be careful not to over-process them, or they will become mushy.
Salting the cabbage and carrots before adding the dressing will help to draw out their moisture and make them more crisp.
You can use any type of vinegar in this recipe, but apple cider vinegar or rice vinegar are good choices. If you don't have vinegar on hand, you can substitute lemon juice or lime juice.
Add the ginger and sesame seeds at the end of cooking, so they don't lose their flavor.

Conclusion:

Crispy ginger slaw is a delicious and refreshing salad that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Try adding different vegetables, such as shredded broccoli or bell peppers. You can also adjust the amount of ginger and sesame seeds to taste. No matter how you make it, crispy ginger slaw is sure to be a hit!
