How to Make Asian Style Vegetable Slaw
- Shred the carrots (2 medium) and cabbage (1/2 small head). Thinly slice the red bell pepper (1/2). Julienne the cucumber (1/2). Chop green onions (2).
- In a large bowl, combine the shredded carrots, cabbage, red bell pepper, cucumber, and green onions.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce (2 tbsp), rice vinegar (2 tbsp), sesame oil (1 tbsp), honey (1 tbsp), minced garlic (1 clove), and grated ginger (1 tsp).
- Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss gently to coat evenly.
- Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the vegetables to crisp up.
- Serve chilled on a bed of crisp lettuce. Garnish with sliced almonds (1/4 cup, toasted) or toasted sesame seeds (1 tbsp) for added crunch and flavor.
- Enjoy as a side dish with grilled chicken, fish, or tofu.
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.
