How to Make Asian Broccoli Coleslaw
- If using fresh broccoli and cabbage, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add broccoli and cabbage, and blanch for 1-2 minutes. Immediately transfer to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
- Drain the broccoli and cabbage thoroughly. If using pre-shredded slaw mix, skip steps 1 and 2.
- In a large bowl, combine the drained broccoli and cabbage (or pre-shredded slaw mix), shredded carrots, and green onions.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, grated ginger, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes (if using). Adjust the amounts to your taste preferences.
- Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture.
- Gently toss to coat evenly. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
- Before serving, toast the slivered almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat until lightly browned and fragrant.
- Add the toasted almonds to the coleslaw and gently toss to combine.
- Serve chilled and enjoy!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
