How to Make Asian Coleslaw

  1. In a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine 1/2 cup rice vinegar, 1/4 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, and 1 teaspoon grated ginger. Secure the lid and shake vigorously until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  2. Add the dressing to 6 cups of shredded cabbage (about 1 small head). Gently toss to ensure all the cabbage is evenly coated.
  3. Taste and add a pinch of salt to your preference, if desired.
  4. Cover the coleslaw and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. For best results, chill for 1-2 hours before serving.
