Categories     side-dish

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons vegetable, peanut or canola oil
1 small head red cabbage, shredded
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
3 tablespoons honey
3 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
1 tablespoon sesame oil

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in large skillet over high heat. Stir-fry the cabbage 5 minutes then season with salt and pepper, to taste, and add vinegar and honey, sesame seeds and oil. Serve warm.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cabbage: Green cabbage is the most common type used for coleslaw, but you can also use red cabbage for a more colorful slaw. Napa cabbage is a good option if you want a milder flavor.
  • Shred the cabbage thinly: This will help the slaw absorb the dressing better and make it easier to eat.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: In addition to cabbage, you can add other vegetables to your slaw, such as carrots, celery, broccoli, or bell peppers. This will add flavor and color to the dish.
  • Make your own dressing: The dressing is what really makes the slaw, so it's worth taking the time to make your own. There are many different recipes for coleslaw dressing, so you can find one that suits your taste.
  • Chill the slaw before serving: This will help the flavors to meld and make the slaw more refreshing.

Conclusion:

Sweet sesame slaw is a delicious and refreshing side dish that is perfect for summer gatherings. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. So next time you are looking for a healthy and flavorful side dish, give sweet sesame slaw a try.
