Ingredients for Asian Coleslaw

  • Rice Wine Vinegar
  • Olive Oil
  • Celery Seed
  • Chili Garlic Sauce
  • Splenda Sugar Substitute
  • Coleslaw
  • Salt to taste (optional)

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.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
