Tips:

For the best flavor, use fresh, crisp Chinese cabbage. Look for heads that are heavy for their size and have tightly packed leaves.
If you don't have a mandoline, you can use a sharp knife to thinly slice the cabbage. Just be careful to keep your fingers out of the way!
You can adjust the amount of mayonnaise, vinegar, and sugar to taste. If you like a tangier coleslaw, add more vinegar. If you prefer a sweeter coleslaw, add more sugar.
Garnish your coleslaw with chopped green onions or cilantro before serving.
Coleslaw is a great make-ahead dish. It will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
