How to Make Asian Salad Cole Slaw Chinese Cole Slaw Light
- Finely shred the cabbage and carrots. Place them in a large bowl.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey, ginger, and garlic.
- Add the shredded cabbage and carrots to the dressing and toss gently to combine.
- If using, sprinkle the chopped green onions and sesame seeds over the salad.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
