Asian ginger & soy coleslaw salad
Indulge in the perfect blend of zesty ginger and savory soy flavors with this refreshing Asian-inspired coleslaw salad. Savor the taste of Asia in every bite.
Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar
- 1 to 1 1/2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
- 3/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 1/2 to 3/4 tablespoons fresh ginger, grated
- 1 clove fresh garlic, chopped finely
- dash of Sriracha chili sauce (to taste)
- ground black pepper (to taste)
- 1 head of red cabbage
- 1 head of white cabbage
- 1 large carrot (peeled and grated)
- 2-3 persian or small seedless cucumbers (peel on) chopped
- 1 small daikon radish (cut into thin strips)
- prepared seaweed salad (I get this at my local grocer (I like to serve this along with the coleslaw)
Instructions:
- Prepare the dressing by combining the initial eight ingredients in a glass or stainless steel bowl and whisk them together until fully incorporated.
- Alternatively, you can opt to blend the ingredients for around 10 seconds until they are completely mixed.
- Transfer the mixture to a sizable bowl and let it sit, covered, for half an hour to allow the flavors to meld naturally.
- This recipe yields about 1 cup of vinaigrette (any leftover dressing can be stored for future salads or used to marinate chicken or meat for grilling).
- Hand-shred or use a food processor to shred the red and white cabbage. Use as much cabbage as needed; I usually use approximately half of the white cabbage and slightly less than half of the red cabbage due to their larger size.
- Combine the shredded cabbage in a large bowl, along with shredded carrots, diced cucumbers, and sliced daikon radish, and mix thoroughly.
- Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad to your preference a few minutes before serving to ensure the flavors meld well. For added flavor, you can garnish with toasted sesame seeds if desired.
- Present the salad alongside the prepared seaweed salad. This complements dishes like asian chicken patties and vegetable rice cakes wonderfully.
