TIPS

Here are some tips to help you prepare this crunchy Asian cabbage slaw.

  • Use Fresh Vegetables: Crisp cabbage and firm carrots provide the best texture.
  • Adjust Seasoning: Add more soy sauce or vinegar to suit your taste.
  • Make It Ahead: The slaw tastes even better after marinating for an hour.
  • Enhance Crunch: Toss in chopped peanuts or cashews for extra texture.
  • Spice It Up: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or sriracha for heat.

VARIATIONS

  • Add Protein: Include grilled chicken, shrimp or tofu for a complete meal.
  • Try Different Veggies: Swap red cabbage for Napa cabbage or add sliced radish.
  • Make It Citrusy: Replace rice vinegar with fresh lime juice for a zesty kick.
  • Sweeten It Up: Drizzle with honey or maple syrup for a hint of sweetness.
  • Try A Nutty Twist: Add peanut butter or almond butter to the dressing for a richer flavour.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Fridge Storage: Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
  • Keep Dressing Separate: If making ahead, store dressing separately and toss before serving.
  • Refresh Before Serving: Toss with a little extra vinegar if needed after refrigeration.
  • Freeze For Later: While best fresh, you can freeze the slaw without dressing for up to a month.
  • Use Within A Day For Best Crunch: Cabbage softens over time, so eat within 24 hours for optimal texture.
