I'm a vegetarian, so I omitted the crab. The coleslaw was still delicious!

I'm allergic to crab, so I used shrimp instead. It turned out just as good!

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I think it needed more seasoning.

This dish was a bit too spicy for me, but I still enjoyed it. I think next time I'll use less chili peppers.

I'm not a huge fan of coleslaw, but this Vietnamese version was really good! The dressing was light and tangy, and the crab added a nice salty flavor.
