How to Make Asian Coleslaw Dressing

  1. In a jar with a tight-fitting lid (at least 8 oz capacity), combine 1/4 cup rice vinegar, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1 teaspoon grated ginger, 1 clove minced garlic, 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or to taste), and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  2. Secure the lid and shake vigorously until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  3. Add 1/2 cup mayonnaise and 2 tablespoons milk. Shake well until thoroughly combined.
  4. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add more sugar for sweetness, soy sauce for saltiness, or red pepper flakes for heat.
  5. In a large bowl, combine 8 cups coleslaw mix (or substitute with shredded Napa cabbage), 1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions, 1/2 cup snow peas (trimmed), 1/2 cup thinly sliced radishes, and 1/2 cup thinly sliced cucumbers.
  6. Pour the desired amount of Asian coleslaw dressing over the cabbage mixture. Gently toss to coat evenly.
  7. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or longer, for best flavor).
  8. Optional: Just before serving, sprinkle with 1/4 cup slivered almonds for added crunch and visual appeal.
